Abstract

A few leading collecting institutions have developed extensive moving image and recorded sound preservation programs, and have reported their own models at professional conferences. However these prominent examples can feel overwhelming to a library or archive that is only just beginning audiovisual preservation. This presentation will give suggestions and guidelines for librarians working in between the two extremes of large-scale audiovisual preservation and zero priority being given to audiovisual materials, giving examples from starting AV preservation programs at UCLA Library's Preservation Unit and University of Baltimore Langsdale Library's Special Collections Department.
