Part 2: Sustainable Information: Digital Preservation of Audio-Visual Content - National Information Standards Organization

December 17, 2014 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time)
Audio-visual resources in digital formats present even more challenges to preservation than do digital text resources. Reformatting information to a common file format can be difficult and may require specialists to ensure it is done with no loss in integrity. While digital text may still be usable if done imperfectly (e.g. skewed but still readable pages), even small errors in digital A/V files could render the material unusable.

This webinar will share the experiences of several projects that are working to ensure that A/V files can be preserved with their full integrity ensured.
