NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION


Public Meeting With Interested Vendors for Ordering Reproductions 
of Still Photographs, Aerial Film, Maps, and Drawings

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NARA will hold a meeting to discuss the continued 
privatization of reproduction services for still pictures, aerial film, 
maps, and drawings. On March 6, 1995, NARA began a test phase of new 
procedures for the delivery of reproduction services for records which 
NARA customers request from the Still Picture Branch (NNSP), the 
Cartographic and Architectural Branch (NNSC), and the Nixon 
Presidential Materials Staff (NLNP). NARA permitted vendors to set up 
work stations in College Park, MD, where the still photographs and 
cartographic and architectural records are housed and made available. 
The three units referred customer requests for reproduction of these 
media to the vendors, who determined fees, collected payments, 
performed the copying work, and mailed the reproductions to the 
customers. The purpose of this one-year trial program was to: (1) 
verify the degree to which the privatization of the reproduction order 
fulfillments of

NNSP, NNSC, and NLNP could improve customer service; and (2) ascertain 
the extent to which digital scanning can satisfy requirements from 
NARA's customers. NARA has decided to extend the program for one more 
year, with some changes. All vendors interested in this program, 
including vendors already participating, are invited to attend the next 
scheduled meeting on January 24, 1996. A follow-up meeting has also 
been scheduled for February 15, 1996, to answer any remaining questions 
from possible vendors, and to distribute copies of the memorandum of 
agreement.

DATES: The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 24, 1996, at 
2 p.m. The follow-up meeting will be held on Thursday, February 15, 
1996, at 2 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meetings will be held in Archives II, lecture rooms D 
and E, located at 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD.
