Opening Open Source: Access Tools for Community Adoption of AV Preservation Software
Open source tools can make digital preservation accessible by offering low cost and d.i.y. solutions to problems faced by independent artists and filmmakers. While the tools exist, the general knowledge of these tools and how to use them is not widespread. How can we as practitioners offer these software solutions to a wider public? How can we build on community archiving models to share our knowledge beyond archival practitioners? In this talk, I will offer updates on a survey in progress of current filmmakers and their archiving practices.
