ARCHIVING

Audio/Visual/Print Archiving

I’ve worked directly with artists and community groups for over ten years, preserving analog histories for art and educational settings. Rapid and severe degradation of print materials and audio/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 libraries, museums, galleries and educational institutions.
