[QuadList] IMAP Workshop on Digital Preservation for Video at BAVC (San Francisco)

[Ted Langdell]

Greetings from the Golden State,

Andrew Ingall from IMAP posted this to the Association of Moving Image  
Archivists list.

We're reposting it here to the QuadList for those who are local to the  
Bay Area and may want to participate, or are loocated elsewhere and  
looking for a good reason to visit San Francisco the second week of  
June.

If anyone on the QuadList decides to attend, please advise your humble  
and gregarious servant: ted at quadvideotapegroup.com

I'll work to arrange a Quad-related event... perhaps a look at working  
Quads followed by dinner and conversation.  I have a couple of other  
ideas, but may need to have the assistance of someone like Merlin.

Ted

Presents a Workshop on

Digital Preservation for Video

  Monday, June 7, 2010

10 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

at Bay Area Video Coaltion (BAVC) in San Francisco, CA

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.

Presenter:  Linda Tadic consults and lectures in areas of digital  
asset management, audiovisual and digital preservation, and metadata.   
She is Executive Director of the Audiovisual Archive Network (www.archivenetwork.org 
), and an adjunct professor in New York University’s Moving Image  
Archiving and Preservation graduate degree program, teaching two core  
courses: Collection Management, and Access to Moving Image  
Collections.  Ms. Tadic’s over 25 years experience working with and  
managing audiovisual, digital, and broadcasting collections includes  
the positions of Manager of the Digital Library at Home Box Office  
(HBO), and Director of the Media Archives and Peabody Awards  
Collection at the University of Georgia. She is the past Director of  
Operations for ARTstor.
