ARCHIVE

Audio/Visual/Print Archiving

Rapid and severe degradation of audio and video-cassette tapes is occurring. Archiving local artistic histories can bring dignity to the artist and inspire a sense of community among all artists. The media we absorb online represents a small fraction of recorded history, which is why archivists play an important role in preservation this history; creating asset libraries with accurate metadata in the process. Easily-accessible archives can benefit many disciplines including in museum, gallery and educational settings.
