Full title of the presentation: Case Study in Open Media Adoption at the University of Georgia
How do we advocate for open media? What turning points lead to open media adoption? When is a good time to shake up your digital preservation workflow? The University of Georgia's Brown Media Archives (BMAC) has been moving to more open media solutions based on a number of factors, including problems with sundry files created via digitization projects past, exponentially increasing researcher usage of digital media collections, and the advent of an institution-wide digital preservation system. This presentation will include a brief account of how the digital preservation workflow at BMAC has developed over the past decade and how, in relatively small archives, personnel changes can dramatically impact the digital archive. I will also discuss how the shift to open media from proprietary solutions has changed my work and my goals for BMAC's future.
The Walter J. Brown Media Archives & Peabody Awards Collection is part of the University of Georgia Special Collections Libraries. BMAC holdings include over 250,000 physical items and over a petabyte of digital materials, with a staff of six full time employees.
