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

[Trevor Brown]

Something else I am going to miss, with the Atlantic between us, Ever
thought of streaming it I can plug you into a streamer via the internet that
will let hundreds of people see it and ask questions back, but the camera's
mic's and switcher are difficult to engineer from here

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
<mailto:ted at quadvideotapegroup.com?Subject=IMAP%20Presentation%20in%20San%20
Francisco-->  

 

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 (
<http://www.archivenetwork.org/> 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.
