*George Blood Audio/Video/Film/Data*George Blood Audio/Video/Film/Data is a
leading provider of audio, moving image, and data preservation and
digitization services. Each month our studio reformats over 15,000
audiovisual media materials housed on decaying and obsolete media to a
variety of digital formats. Our clients consist of libraries, museums,
archives, and private collectors, both nationally and internationally.
We take great pride in the reputation of our work to provide quality
playback and digitization while adhering to current preservation standards.
Our staff works together in teams, with each member contributing years of
experience and the particular strengths of their field, whether as a
professional audio/video engineer, preservation specialist, or
service/technical professional. Our company also contributes to research in
the field of preservation and serves on standards and technical committees
for many organizations.
*2020 Summer Internship*With our new, larger facility comes a larger need
for the care and preservation of archival collections. We welcome
applicants for the summer of 2020 internship to bring your ideas and help
us turn theory into practice!
We will offer two paid internships in the areas of audiovisual preservation
and data rescue and recovery. During this period, interns will gain an
understanding of the processes of audiovisual and data preservation
reformatting, and have the opportunity to contribute to a particular area
of preservation work of their choosing. The internships will each result in
a professional level project. Past interns have conducted preservation
research and documentation, created shipping and storage guidelines,
participated in conservation treatments of materials, and more!
We take great care in interviewing prospective interns. Our goal is to
make the internship a valuable experience for both parties, as the interns
will work directly with the Project Managers. Applicants should be
prepared to discuss what aspects of audio and moving image preservation
they wish to learn more about, and expect some give and take as we explore
how those interests can be met within the day-to-day operations of our
organization. Please be advised that interns will NOT be allowed to
digitize client materials.
