WHAT TO DO: Thank your local archivist

The annual World Records symposium explores discs of a different nature this year: Those made to accompany early sound films using the Vitaphone process. The Vitaphone archive at the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research is part of a restoration effort currently underway, and project director Ron Hutchinson will give the event's keynote Friday at 8 am. Along with panel discussions, there also will be a concert by 3Banjos3 (Thursday, 8 pm) and film screenings (Friday, 7 pm). For the full schedule: mayrentinstitute.wisc.edu.
