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.

___________________________________________________________VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
