[Milsurplus] ARTA Newspaper

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Wow! - pretty interesting Hue..   what  size is it!? How may  pages  have 
not seen this  before.
 
We have an 11x17 scanner  which  seems  to work well   for things  like  
newpapers.
 
Anything that is  really unique like this  gets  scanned and  online.  Jim 
Hanes  and I have been doing  this  for  example  with the scarce ARTS  
early radio teletype   journals.

I scanned my  batch here at the museum  as  PDF files with  optical 
backscatter so  google finds  anything inside the pdf   files!
 
here  is the  page    some   fun  rtty  history..  as well as  the  
grouping of  journals  - http://www.smecc.org/rtty_ratt_radio_teletype.htm

I have one  copy of the newspaper of the ‘American Radio Telegraphists 
Association’   ( “ARTA” ) from 1935. 
Right now  it’s hidden from the world in my archives.
I’d welcome suggestions on where  to donate it that it would be scanned and 
put online; not just so it goes   
to hide in  someone else’s archive. Nothing extremely revelatory in it; but 
it’s  interesting the level of wage  
disputes,  strikes, unrest; this i suppose a natural, considering the 
telegraphist job  was a well-paid, relatively, 
in a time of  continued depression.  
If you look  online, there’s not a lot to be found on the ARTA. That would 
be an  interesting story itself, the  
origin and  closure of this union. I think now, i actually have an ARTA 
membership card  too. If that’s true, 
it might be  fun to photoshop edit it to remove the name on it, for your 
home printing  pleasure.
