Discover was created as a pilot site for the National Library of New Zealand's digital collection to ensure interoperability and access through the use of standards. It contains 2,500 multimedia items from the Alexander Turnbull Library's collections. Metadata was created using Dublin Core and other standards and mapped from existing library catalogs to support resource discovery, description, and preservation. The metadata is expressed in XML and RDF to enable delivery in different syntaxes depending on requirements and is managed through the NLNZ Digital Resource application.
The document outlines an agenda for a digitization workshop hosted by the Community Heritage Grants Program. The session will cover planning a digitization project, including setting standards, resources needed, and care of original materials and digital copies. It will include a tour of a digitization facility and discussions on negotiating rights, providing access online, and metadata. Notes are provided on the six key stages of a digitization project - planning, preparing, creating, describing, editing, and publishing digital assets. Factors to consider when setting standards like resolution, file format, and compression are also summarized.

Part 2: Digital Preservation of Audio-Visual Content
About the Webinar
Audio-visual resources in digital formats present even more challenges to preservation than do digital text resources. Reformatting information to a common file format can be difficult and may require specialists to ensure it is done with no loss in integrity. While digital text may still be usable if done imperfectly (e.g. skewed but still readable pages), even small errors in digital A/V files could render the material unusable.
This webinar will share the experiences of several projects that are working to ensure that A/V files can be preserved with their full integrity ensured.

Moving an Archive from Tape to Disk: A Case-Study at ICPSRBryan Beecher
This document summarizes ICPSR's efforts to transition its archive from tape to disk storage between 2006-2008. It describes ICPSR's mission to collect and preserve social science data. In 2006, ICPSR digitally preserved objects on tape but lacked automation. A new plan automated processes, moved all digital content from tape to disk by 2007, and discarded unnecessary paper records. This transition reduced costs while improving access and preservation for ICPSR staff. While progress was made, further work is still needed on a proper digital preservation system and long-term storage of larger digital objects and restricted-access materials.
Just Digitise It by Daniel Wilksch of the Public Records Office Victoria. Presented at the 2018 Community Heritage Grants (CHG) Preservation and Collection Management Training Workshops
The document discusses digitizing the oral history sound recording collection at the State Library of New South Wales. It covers assessing the current analog collection for digitization, planning the process including budget, standards, and metadata collection. The benefits of digitization are preservation of content beyond the physical carrier and improved access and use of the collection through online availability and integration with other digital assets. Digitization requires high quality conversion and long-term management of digital files and associated metadata.
This document discusses the PARADISEC video digitization trial conducted in 2006. The trial aimed to test standards and workflows for ingesting, preserving, and providing access to ethnographic video collections. A variety of video formats were ingested and master files were saved as uncompressed .dv files while access copies were created in DVD and lower-resolution web-friendly formats. The trial highlighted several technical issues around file sizes, metadata, and system performance. It provided a model for estimating costs of long-term video preservation but further funding was still needed to support ongoing storage and access over time.

The document discusses broadcasters' dilemmas in managing archive assets between long-term preservation requirements and production needs. It summarizes NOA's archive asset management (AAM) software and services, which help broadcasters and other organizations migrate physical archives into a digital archive that respects standards while allowing content access for production and distribution. Recent NOA projects include helping Sharjah Media Corporation migrate 150,000 hours of video and Bulgarian National Radio migrate 350,000 audio assets into NOA's AAM system.
This document provides an overview of the EVIA Digital Archive project which aims to digitize, annotate, and provide access to 150 hours of video from 15 ethnomusicologists. It describes the development timeline, technical tools and standards used, and interfaces for searching, browsing, and playing videos. Key phases included planning from 2001-2002, development from 2003-2005, and a 2004 summer institute where contributors segmented and annotated 10 hours of newly digitized video.
Digital audio recording of oral histories produces recordings of higher quality and longer lifespan than analog recordings. It also allows for broad access through sharing online. However, best practices for recording, processing, storing, and editing digitally, as well as careful equipment selection, are necessary to ensure high quality. Several websites provide guidance on digital audio recording, equipment, and effective practices.

2010 AIRI Petabyte Challenge - View From The TrenchesGeorge Ang
This document provides an overview of trends in science-driven storage from the perspective of an independent consulting firm. It discusses how the needs of life science researchers are driving huge increases in data production and storage needs. It also describes some common problems encountered, such as enterprise storage solutions that don't meet research needs, do-it-yourself cluster configurations that are not optimized, and unchecked user requirements. The document concludes with some practical advice, such as the importance of a single namespace, user expectation management, and trends towards larger petabyte-scale storage deployments.
The document discusses using speech technology to help disclose and provide access to audiovisual archives by automatically generating time-stamped content descriptions. It faces challenges from a large backlog of undisclosed analog material with minimal descriptions. The approach involves digitizing content, adding metadata, and using speech recognition to generate content descriptions when transcripts are not available. This would allow online retrieval of archive fragments and reduce human effort for annotation. The project tests this approach on the Radio Rijnmond archives of over 60,000 hours of broadcasts.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.

58. Tape Vault Library of Congress Says: Long-term Storage (Materials having permanent value) Storage areas should be kept at a constant 45 to 50° F or colder (do not store magnetic tapes below 46° F as it may cause lubrication separation from the tape binder) and 20 to 30% RH for magnetic tapes (open reel and cassette) and 45 to 50% RH for all others. Widely fluctuating temperature or RH severely shortens the life span of all recordings. Environmental conditions shall not fluctuate more that ±5° F or ±5% RH over a 24 hour period. Store in dark areas except when being accessed, being sure to keep recordings away from UV sources (unshielded fluorescent tubes and sunlight.)

Editor's Notes
How Many People Have digitized pre-existing content for the Internet? Podcast? Youtube? How many people have created digital content for use on the internet?
Work at a Public Access Television station located in the Allen County Public Library
Interact with a moving image archive weekly
We digitize a portion of programs produced at the facility
with library productions receiving priority
Coincidentally all classes I’ve recently completed
Interned last year at the Genealogy Center at the Allen County Public Library Working on the digitization of Quest Club of Fort Wayne cassette tapes
The rest of the presentation I’ll talk first about what I did and then what I learned practically and theoretically
Lecture society presenting since 1911 Recording audio since 1974 Full of Area big wigs Tape Archive is housed in the Allen County Public Library
Portion of their mission statement
In this totally spontaneous and unstaged picture you see how the tapes are archived in the sub basement of the ACPL.
Hardware you’ll need for digitizing the audio signal includes
An heir and a spare, can also be backed up on your network, depending on your storage and your relationship with your IT department.
Hard Drives fail…it happens, especially when you are moving lots of information back and forth. I’ve had 2 external video editing drives fail out 5 in the last 3 years.
Who here is familiar with Audacity? Love this program, Open Source, Can encode at High Quality standards.
As a CMS, it’s hard to beat .tried the Open Source, GreenStone, also an option, even harder to use.
I used this to package the scanned Tiff files into Pdf.s and to run OCR
Microsoft Excel for Metadata entry and tab delimited file creation.
Created Master Document in excel and uploaded it to Google docs.
Fields are very modified Dublin Core
Name your file something that is meaningful to you.
Foxy respected sound engineer and inventor of Parametric equalization
The International Association for Sound and Video Archives standard
Are the creators or creating organization still around? GO give them a demonstration.
Why collect and digitize special formats from your community? Well, listen to this…
Don’t have one? Don’t have either? Start wide. These can protect you from becoming a Dumping ground for non useful material.
Subject, Age, Uniqueness, Quality, Quantity all factors to take into account
Don’t let tapes in that can harm your hardware. Buy a bottle of 100% isopropyl alcohol and some lintless cotton swabs for your playback device heads. Sometime you have to let a tape go, especially if it is damaged and of questionable background.
Soft write errors are the number of recoverable non-critical write errors that are encountered, meaning that a write operation on a block first failed and the subsequent retry was successful. If soft write errors are seen, it may indicate the beginning of a problem. When more of these soft write errors are seen, then you should consider checking the media for damage and cleaning the device, which will usually improve the situation. If the errors start to become excessive, the device may require servicing or replacing. As soft write errors usually indicate driver problems,
Digital Formats become obsolete fast, Storage interfaces age out, how long is USB 1 gonna be around. Understand that you have to be the active custodian of digital resources.
Check your master and backup devices, do they work? Run disc analysis on a regular schedule
Why should you digitize audio collections if it’s not really preservation?

Actual preservation of the item involves these steps
Actual preservation of the item involves these steps
Here you can see in the totally spontaneous and un-staged photo the excellent conditions the Quest Club tapes are stored in
Think about your institutional digitization philosophy, projects are great, they get the ball rolling but at some point you are going to need to standardize how projects move through their cycles.
