IMAP Presents Workshops on
Digital Preservation for Video
Washington, DC
June 8, 2012, 9 AM – 5 PM
The George Washington University
Instructors:
Sarah Stauderman, Collections Care Manager, Smithsonian Institution
Archives
Jeff Martin, Executive Director, IMAP
Buffalo, New York
June 15, 2012, 9 AM – 5 PM
Instructor:
Kara Van Malssen, AudioVisual Preservation Solutions
If content on analog videotape is to survive for the long term, the tapes
must be digitized--moved from the unstable magnetic media on which the
content is currently held, into the digital realm where--in theory--they
can be preserved indefinitely and migrated forward as files rather than
physical objects. Digitization, however, means more than simply selecting
a destination file format. It requires a series of decisions that will
determine the long-term viability of files created--and thus of the
valuable video content. Workshop topics include: basic digital file
creation, preservation and access file formats and codecs, software,
storage and trusted digital repositories, workflows for digitization, and
technical and preservation metadata. In addition, participants will examine
case studies of small and large-scale digitization projects in order to
understand real-world applications of principles introduced in the
workshop.
