About the program<br><br>
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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
