Digitizing Analog Audio Resources ~ FACE-TO-FACE -- UPDATED

Digital Audio is a well-established technology and analog audio playback capabilities are rapidly disappearing. How will libraries and archives with aging audio collections navigate this transition and preserve their sonic treasures? This one-day workshop outlines the challenges for libraries as they transfer their analog audio resources to newer digital technologies.

Topics include:

• Analog audio carriers: their identification and characteristics
• Audio collection surveys
• Properties of analog and digital sound
• Equipment requirements for playback and digitization
• Audio digitization guidelines
• Files for archiving and access
• Metadata
• Working with audio vendors

The Imaging and Preservation Service is funded in part by a grant from the Division of Preservation and Access of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
