audio preservation

Understanding and preserving audio collections - a 3 day course, British Library, London

7 – 9 November 2011

From the end of the 19th century, sound recordings have documented some of the most significant events in culture, science and history. Custodians of audio collections are faced with the challenge of maintaining access to our priceless audio heritage, but with so many formats, from wax cylinders to the latest audio file formats, there is a risk that recordings on obsolete and fragile formats may be lost.

The Education and Training Committee of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections presents:

"Audio Archives 101: Identification, Organization, Preservation."
The workshop will be held on Wednesday, May 11, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., during the 2011 ARSC Conference (May 11-14).
