Subseries I.B. Master Edited Copies, 2000-2002

Master edited videotaped versions of the oral history interviews are located in Subseries I.B. A master copy is used to designate the original copy of a film or video. These edited tapes were produced through an outside vendor using the raw footage tapes located in Subseries I.A. The edited versions of the oral history interviews have interview introductions, production titles, and feature a continuous cut of the interview. Also included in this series... is the master copy of the production video, "Observations on the Eradication of the New World Screwworm," which includes clips from several of the interviews. Transcripts were made from these edited versions, not the raw footage, and no content was edited out unless there was a technical reason for doing so during the editing process. The large format BetacamSP tapes (Sub-subseries I.B.1.) are the original master edited copies; these tapes were used to produce master VHS copies. Master copies should only be used to create preservation copies, not for research viewing purposes.
