No Time To Wait - S04E12 - Alexander Boix - Long-term Preservation of AV records at AdsD Archives

Alexander Boix presents "Just Getting Started: Digitization and Long-term Preservation of Audiovisual Records in the Archives of Social Democracy (AdsD)

Although the main focus of the Archives of Social Democracy (AdsD) is on written documents, it still has a remarkable collection of audiovisual objects. Over the past two years, this collection has been thoroughly reviewed and the related working processes have been adapted to current needs. In this context, a new workflow for digitization and long-term preservation was developed, in which open source tools such as FFMPEG, QCTools, MediaConch and Bagger play a decisive role. Even if the concept requires a long-term overhaul, it allows media archivists with low budget and little IT knowledge to address the urgent need to digitize their audiovisual cultural assets.
