MPLP for AV

Abstract

This Powerpoint presentation was given during a full-day workshop at the fall meeting of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference. The workshop provided the knowledge and hands-on experience for archivists to initiate preservation of audiovisual items at their current or future places of work. Attendees learned how to identify audiovisual formats, process collections with AV materials quickly, decide on processing policies depending on several factors, create a basic conditions assessment of AV materials, and properly store them for preservation.
