Archivists and special collections curators are increasingly faced
with acquiring collections with a significant audiovisual component.
Deciding whether to accession such collections can be a daunting task:
what exactly are the formats being offered? What are the preservation
options? What playback equipment is required for access? What are the
problems and pitfalls of digital transfer? This workshop offers a
systematic analysis of audiovisual materials in terms of physical and
mechanical features, acquisition and appraisal issues, and
preservation and access considerations. A wide range of recorded sound
and moving image formats will be examined. Participants will come away
from this workshop able to make informed decisions on what audiovisual
materials to acquire and, once acquired, how to manage those materials
over time.
Instructors: Thomas Connors and Chuck Howell, Broadcasting Archives,
University of Maryland.
Location: Tremont Plaza, 222 St. Paul Place, Baltimore, MD 21202
