*Don't let this opportunity slip by!Save our audiovisual heritage - our
California Light and Sound! *
Analog recordings - magnetic materials in particular - are threatened by
fragile physical condition, format obsolescence and a lack of playback
equipment.
Let's address this serious preservation problem before it is too late.
*Thanks to another National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grantThe
California Audiovisual Preservation Project will have a fall round of
digitization! Nominate your recordings by Tuesday, November 17th!*
We'll accept up to 100 nominations. Please keep in mind the project's
selection criteria:
- statewide and/or local historical significance that contributes to an
understanding of the history of California and its people - (ideally)
featuring widely known names and events
- risk of loss due to physical condition and format obsolescence
- never published commercially– must be primary source material
- intellectual property in the public domain, held by the owning
library, or secured from the rights holder, when possible
- cataloging metadata provided by the owning archive
- titles most requested by users
