Online Workshop: Preserving Moving Image Film and Outsourcing Digitization

Preserving Moving Image Film and Outsourcing Digitization

Thursday May 21 at 2:30 - 4:00 EST

Instructor: Christina Stewart

This workshop is designed for all archivists with the goal of demystifying the world of moving image film and its digitization. Nearly all archives have film materials, but not the traditional equipment to make the content accessible. This workshop aims to make that content come to life again by focusing on where and how to start a digitization project. The topics covered will be film identification and preservation, understanding digitization services, budgets, what questions to ask vendors, and finally how to prep your film materials for digitization. By the end of the workshop, archivists will have a clearer understanding of their materials, the services they will need, but also the confidence to talk to vendors. Participants are asked to bring questions and collection scenarios for discussion.

Zoom link will be provided to registrants the day before the workshop.
