A significant number of digitization projects helped preserve archival type materials, including digitally transferring and restored audio cassette taped interviews recorded in the 1970s-1990s with key Disney artists and studio personnel as part of an oral history conducted by authors Michael Barrier and Paul Anderson. Editorial work was performed on the writing and/or layout for several of the organizations publications in progress, including 1) a monograph about the origins of Walt Disneys True-Life Adventure nature series, 2) a monograph about Disneys 1941 goodwill trip to South America on behalf of the U.S. government, 3) a monograph about early Mickey Mouse stage and radio shows, 4) a monograph about the history of Walt Disney Imagineering and the early work to design and build Disneyland, 5) monographs about the making of Disneys Swiss Family Robinson and Darby OGill and the Little People films, and 6) The 2022-23 HHA Annual featuring scholarly articles by numerous contributors, including authors from Loyola Marymount University and the Smithsonian Institute.-$48,763
