Greetings:
Big fan of your site for long time now. We launched about 3 years ago with the intention of promoting reggae roots & culture with a special emphasis on the preservation and archival of vital print, audio, and video media.
I launched the site with much help and support from Roger Steffens who provided an endless amount of media for us to digitize and post online. Since then we have forged several content sharing agreements, recruited 4 web editors, and added a ton of original content.
I am writing to let you know that we are in the process of digitizing and presenting reggae print articles from the Black Echoes magazine, which I consider to have been the very best reporting on the genre at its peak. We will be adding new articles weekly. Here is the link:

We also have the entire catalog of Glen Lockley’s Distant Drums online here:

In addition, we have a digital document library hosted by Issuu that contains more than 600 print articles from every source you can imagine:

Hi,
I’m emailing you from Toronto (Canada) in regards to the Smarter Faster Tougher exhibition. The SFT is an exhibition on sports, fashion + tech that examines the nature of sportswear today and its wider cultural, social and aesthetic significance. The show is organized by the Design Exchange, a registered charitable, not-for-profit cultural institution. It is Canada’s only museum dedicated exclusively to the pursuit of design excellence and preservation of design heritage.
http://www.dx.org/index.cfm?pagepath=Exhibitions/Upcoming_Exhibitions&id=42853
The STF show will be enriched with an interactive area where people will be able to access a digital platform through ipads. Specifically we are working on an app that will let visitors go in depth into some garments and bring more exposure to certain brands. One of our exhibitors is PUMA. For the purpose of the app, I would like to ask you if you can provide us with the following video pertaining to the PUMA x Cedella Marley collection from your You Tube channel:
ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcX__5ss7As
We would be pleased to add it into our app. If you are interested I can send you a form that clarifies the details of the use of the video and give us the permission to use it only for the limited period of the exhibition and with the appropriate credits.
Please let me know if you have any question about the making of the app or how the video will be used.
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Erica Manetta
