The Campbell Center for Historic Preservation Studies announces a new course:
Audiovisual Preservation on a Shoestring
***
AV Preservation Exposed: Basic Audiovisual Preservation and Collection Practices, Tips and Tactics for the Underfunded Collections Manager.
As audiovisual materials age, more and more of our moving image and sound heritage is in jeopardy. The wealth of AV formats combined with their increasing obsolescence makes collecting and preserving audiovisual information resources more and more difficult. Audiovisual preservation literature tends to be full of very specific information and make for very tough reading. What’s more, the newcomer to audiovisual preservation can be overwhelmed by the varying , exacting, and often expensive storage needs of AV formats. What is a collections manager to do? This class seeks to demystify audiovisual preservation. This course includes a strong hands-on component wherein participants will get to roll up their sleeves and handle analog “legacy” (read: obsolete) formats and learn some tips for how to assess, repair, and store these materials. We’ll also discuss audiovisual history, copyright/ownership issues, digitization and access. This class holds as its mantra the idea that “anything is better than nothing” when it comes to improving your audiovisual storage and handling protocols. The goal here is to empower, not terrify, the collections manager and we will be discussing low- to no-cost strategies for caring for your AV materials.
