[QuadList] Reminder: IMAP Workshop on Digital Preservation for Videotape

[Jeffrey Martin]

Independent Media Arts Preservation [IMAP]

presents a workshop on



DIGITAL PRESERVATION FOR VIDEOTAPE



Co-sponsored with New York Metropolitan Library Council [METRO]



Monday, June 6, 2011

10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

--------------------------------------------------------------

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.
