About the program

Many of the machine-readable audiovisual collections held by our cultural 
institutions are in peril.  Therefore, it is crucial to have knowledge 
about the life expectancy and unique needs of our legacy media in order to 
make good preservation decisions. From videotapes and audiotapes to motion 
picture film, film strips, LPs, 78s, magnetic tape, wax cylinders, and 
audiocassettes, each of these formats has a critical point at which 
information will begin to be lost.

The challenge of long-term preservation for these formats is that they 
often require intervention, including cleaning and reformatting. To 
maximize the life of these materials, one must understand the nature of the 
media, causes of deterioration, storage and handling practices, and the 
various types of playback equipment.  Through lectures, discussion, and 
hands-on experiences, participants in this two-day program will learn the 
basic principles for managing audiovisual collections that contain historic 
formats.  Contracting with vendors and funding strategies will also be 
discussed.

This program is intended for curators, librarians, archivists, collection 
managers, and other staff who are involved in managing machine-based media 
collections in cultural institutions.
