Independent Associates participate in a variety of tasks:

Collecting material through:

• Independent research
• Locating others with access to materials of interest
• Donating material of their own

Ensuring permissions by:

• Verifying public domain status
• Getting permissions for copywritten material
• Filling out permission/status forms for TRI

Converting documents:

• Requires a computer; a scanner and Optical Character Recognition program are also helpful
• All text must be converted to an acceptable format to facilitate conversion

All Independent Associates will be given credit for the work they do, if they so desire.
