RESCHEDULED! Concepts in Audio/Video Preservation (10/10/18)

This webinar was originally planned for 9/19/2018 but has been rescheduled for 10/10/2018

With the proliferation of aging formats that are becoming increasingly difficult to playback and access, audiovisual media collections are among the most challenging for us to care for. 

This webinar introduces participants to issues in audiovisual preservation, beginning with basic terminology and a broad discussion of developments in audiovisual preservation. This session will cover risks facing audiovisual materials and the major strategies being used in cultural heritage institutions to care for them over time. 

Participants will walk away with a solid understanding of how to devise next steps for their AV collections and where to find more information.
