NC Moving Image Archivists

[Kirston Johnson <kirston.johnson AT duke.edu>]

Hi NCMIA folks –

 

I’d like to host our next meeting at Duke and thought mid to late-June might be a good time to do this.  Because I’d like as many of you as possible to attend, I’m writing to ask that you send out days and times that will work best for you. 

 

Stephanie Stewart and I have been discussing meeting topics and both collecting policies and appraisal for moving image materials have been suggested.  What do you all think about focusing on those two areas in June?

 

At some point, I’m also interested in a meeting that focuses on choosing both access and preservation master file formats for analog videotape digitization – and how those might change depending on source tape characteristics, long-term preservation goals, and IT support.  I’m also interested in finding out more about how archives are working with IT / storage admin staff to store and preserve digital moving image files. 

 

Duke Libraries recently purchased a SAMMA Solo, an automated tape to digital file migration system, and I’m happy to show everyone our new moving image digitization workstation in June.   

 

Let me know what you all think!

 

Best,

 

Kirston
