Overview: 80% of audio and video archive content is at risk, according to the results of EC project PRESTO. Unless preservation procedures are funded and implemented - quickly - unique heritage and commercially valuable material will be lost. This workshop will provide, in a concentrated three days, the combined experience of ten major European broadcast archives, and the new technology developed by PRESTO.
Programme:
Funding - sources of funding; a model business case; benchmark costs
Selection - criteria; prioritisation; life expectancy and condition monitoring
The preservation factory - how to process the most material with the least labour; how to control quality; how to manage metadata; what to include and (exclude) during preservation - to maximise access and future use
Sustainability - the 'total cost of ownership' of archive material; technology for automation of quality monitoring and data update; media life expectancy; what formats to choose
Online and Internet - how to build new technology into a preservation project - without blowing the budget;
The small archive - how to be efficient on small-scale projects; special funding for private and historical collections; sources of support, advice and resources; out-sourcing options
Commercial resources - information on technology and facility houses specialising in multimedia archive preservation; comparative costs; how to manage quality and cost; do's and don'ts of working with contractor
New technology - advances in mass storage, process automation, automatic quality control, and asset management; what it is, what it really can and cannot do, costs and benefits. Also new technology developed by PRESTO and by related EC projects.
Plus: tours of actual preservation projects for audio, video and film in the London area
