Apologies for duplicate messages.
This week the Regional Educational Technology Network (RETN), the Center
for Research on Vermont's public-access television partner, will
premiere the program "A Grain of Salt: Slavery in Vermont's Colonial and
Early Statehood Eras" by Raymond Zirblis, Adjunct, History, Norwich
University.
The program, which has a runtime of one hour and forty-two minutes, can
be viewed on Comcast Cable on Channel 16 (both North and South) as follows:
Wednesday, March 4, 2009, at 8 P.M.
- repeats at midnight
Thursday, March 5, 2009, at 11 A.M.
The program was originally presented as #217 in the Center's ongoing
Research-in-Progress Seminar Series on February 5, 2009. For a detailed
description, please visit the Center's Web site at <www.uvm.edu/~crvt
<http://www.uvm.edu/%7Ecrvt>>.
If you live outside of the RETN broadcast area (see below for a list of
the communities that RETN serves), you may view this and other recent
Center videos on demand. To do this, point your browser at
<www.retn.org> and click on /Center for Research on Vermont/ on the
lefthand column. A menu will appear featuring a number of Center
programs. You may also select the stream quality that best suits your
browser (fastest to slowest: Broadband Video, Dial-Up Video, and Audio
Only).
In addition to the Webstreaming option, videotapes of many Center
programs may be borrowed from the Center's Video Library in DVD and VHS
formats upon request. Please visit our Web site at <www.uvm.edu/~crvt
<http://www.uvm.edu/%7Ecrvt>> and click on Video Library on the
righthand column for more information about the programs that are
available.
Special note: The Center's partnership with RETN has been of inestimable
value to us since we began it in 1996. Not only do we have permanent,
tangible, and archivable records of Center programs, but this
programming also has the potential to reach viewers far beyond the
number of audience members who attend the live presentations, including
some 30,000 households in the Greater Burlington area who subscribe to
Comcast. Now, through the technology of video on demand, Center
programming has become available to virtually all computer households
that are connected to the World Wide Web on a 24/7 basis.
Please take a moment to contact RETN (<[log in to unmask]

appreciate their continuing commitment to broadcasting scholarship and
research on topics of importance to Vermont and Vermonters. Thank you!
