22:49 🔗 fpqc Hey, archiveteam, do you guys know how to find transcripts of speeches that aren't on the internet?
22:49 🔗 fpqc I was wondering if there is a transcript of alben barkely's speeches at the 1932 and 1936 democratic national conventions _somewhere_
22:50 🔗 chronomex try issues of periodicals published by the various state democratic parties the following month
22:51 🔗 SketchCow Yes, that would eb a place to start.
22:52 🔗 chronomex also every newspaper in the country, for the subsequent few days
22:52 🔗 SketchCow Would also call the FDR Presidential Library.
22:52 🔗 chronomex yes
22:52 🔗 SketchCow Since Barkely spoke at two conventions that nominated FDR
22:53 🔗 SketchCow http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/
22:53 🔗 SketchCow This thing is about 10 miles from my house.
22:53 🔗 SketchCow http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/archives/researchvisit.html
22:54 🔗 SketchCow http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/archives/collections/documents.html
22:54 🔗 SketchCow Niiiiiiiiiiice
22:54 🔗 fpqc hm, calling them might work?
22:55 🔗 fpqc would they fax or scan a transcript for me?
22:55 🔗 fpqc if they have it
22:55 🔗 chronomex probably
22:55 🔗 fpqc I'm surprised that there is so much shit that is just not accessible from the internet
22:56 🔗 fpqc that's a labor-intensive low-skill job they could use as a public works project
22:56 🔗 fpqc just like
22:56 🔗 fpqc scan everything
22:58 🔗 underscor fpqc: IA did that with the jobs now program for a while
22:58 🔗 underscor until funding for it was revoked
22:58 🔗 chronomex :(
22:58 🔗 chronomex government shipped scanning jobs to china
23:00 🔗 fpqc =(

23:01 🔗 fpqc lolparty
23:01 🔗 fpqc err
23:01 🔗 fpqc lolprimary
23:02 🔗 fpqc more like, win the loyalty of the party bosses =o
23:03 🔗 SketchCow Fun fact I read in "Team of Rivals"
23:04 🔗 fpqc what's that?
23:04 🔗 SketchCow During the primary that got Lincoln nominated (total dark horse candidate), the building the primary was in had a capacity, and the supporters of Lincoln went down to the docks of the city to pick up prostitutes and dancing girls as "dates", so they effectively doubled their size and locked out other supporters from attending.
23:04 🔗 chronomex hahahaha
23:04 🔗 chronomex awesome
23:05 🔗 fpqc that's gangster
23:05 🔗 fpqc haha

23:09 🔗 fpqc here's something strange
23:09 🔗 fpqc itl ooks like there are at least fragments of the film of roosevelt's 1932 acceptance speech that were preserved
23:10 🔗 fpqc I found two different fragments on youtube
23:10 🔗 fpqc I wonder if the whole thing still exists
23:10 🔗 fpqc if it wasn't transfered to safety film, it's probably gone
23:10 🔗 SketchCow Is this the part when we ask what you're trying to find?
23:10 🔗 godane i added alot of the sandhills publishing pdfs today
23:10 🔗 SketchCow And by "what" I mean what in the material.
23:11 🔗 fpqc Oh, jsut the whole thing
23:11 🔗 fpqc I really believe in the spirit of the archive team
23:12 🔗 fpqc like, if it's an important piece of history, it should be twice as important to have it preserved
23:14 🔗 SketchCow No, no.
23:14 🔗 SketchCow I mean why those two speeches by that guy.
23:14 🔗 SketchCow Anything specific?
23:15 🔗 fpqc oh, no, I read in a book that there was a riot halfway through the 1932 one
23:15 🔗 fpqc he was the keynote speaker
23:16 🔗 SketchCow OK, got it.
23:33 🔗 undersco2 uh oh
