    Quality Control Tools and Processes for Audio & Moving Image Digitization

    This will be an overview of QC applications & tools used by the Bentley Historical Library as part of their digitization work. The presentation will feature open-source, commercial, and locally developed solutions. This is designed for those looking to set up or improve their quality control workflows for digitized audio and moving image.

    Adapting AV Digitization Best Practices to Your Institution

    Jackie Jay will walk you through equipment commonly used to digitize videotape content to archival standards, why each is integral to the process, and why we should be creating preservation master files as a rule, not an exception. Equipment suppliers, repair techs, and sources of additional training will also be discussed.

    LaborFest 2025 

    This year's LaborFest film festival will showcase works made by independent
    filmmakers who are affirming labor and other human rights and advocating for social and economic justice. The film festival highlights films that promote a global culture of racial and economic equality and that challenge exploitative and oppressive systems on a local, national and global level.

    Proceeds from the film festival support the Alliance for Social and
    Economic Justice which provides programs and workshops using popular
    education techniques to develop the leadership of low-wage and immigrant
    workers to take action in the fight for justice, equality and
    sustainability.
