While reading the actual New York Times (meaning the paper and ink was in my hands), I read about a project at WGBH, the PBS affliate in Boston, probably most well-known for its electricfying logo accompanied by its theme. It’s called Open Vault and noted as the WGBH Media Library and Archives. It was mentioned in the ‘Arts, Briefly’ section compiled by Rachel Lee Harris (‘Rare Interviews Tell Vietnam’s Story Online‘).
