"When the Archive had this new project they were working on this Digital Library of Amateur Radio, this sounded perfect for me because I know how to use the tools, and I'm very interested in ham radio...seemed like a dream job." The thoughts of Kay Savetz, K6KJN, Internet Archive's Program Manager, Special Collections. RAIN's Hap Holly, KC9RP spoke with this new addition to the Internet Archive staff.

To see what’s in the library so far, visit archive.org/details/dlarc. Keep in mind as Kay says "it’s still growing, and it’s not as well organized as it will be"—Kay is mainly focused on gathering content at this point. Speaking of content, Hap is pleased to announce that the RAIN archives are being added to this ham radio library. You'll find a growing RAIN collection at https://archive.org/details/rain-report.

Editorial Note: Kay and Hap are in search of missing RAIN Reports from the years 1992, 1998, 2000, and 2003. If you know the cassette whereabouts of any RAIN reports from these years, (we don't care how you got them) please contact Kay Savetz at [email protected]. The archive of RAIN Hamcast can be found at https://archive.org/details/rain-hamcast. All 81 biweekly RAIN Hamcast podcasts are there now.
