In recent years, the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA) has sounded the alarm that magnetic media collections are at extreme risk. Time is running out for these tapes to be preserved and their historical content saved. This Lunch and Learn session will cover specific examples of collaborative tools, spaces and workflows with a focus on the open source community and ethos. It will give an overview of the various tools and open projects that are available to aid institutions getting started with A/V preservation. Specifically, MIPoPS Co-Executive Director Libby Hopfauf will cover the unique qualities, risk factors, transfer tools, and preservation workflows for some of the most common formats found in archives: VHS, DV, 3/4" U-matic, and Betacam. Hopfauf will cover tools and techniques to preserve each of these formats based on their distinct needs and characteristics.
Libby Savage Hopfauf is the Co-Executive Director at Moving Image Preservation of Puget Sound and Audiovisual Archivist at Seattle Municipal Archives in Seattle, Washington (working for both organizations since 2015). She received a Master's in Library and Information Science from the University of Washington and a Bachelor of the Arts in Creative Writing with a minor in Sociology from Western Washington University.
