Introduction to Digital Preservation
February 11, 2021
With Annie Schweikert and Ethan Gates
When a reel of film or videotape breaks, we can examine the reel, diagnose the problem, and repair it. What about when digital files degrade? This webinar will provide an introduction to digital files—their structure, specifications, history, identification, and uses—and will explore potential fixes to “broken” files. Attendees will learn about the organization of data in common audiovisual storage formats, how to recognize those formats, and how to look closer at a file.

Archiving Human Rights Video
+ slides
+ press coverage
Human rights archives form around collections of socially significant content requiring careful, considerate preservation. Media assets acquired for production purposes may be used as evidence, necessitating thoughtful archival workflows with special attention to preservation practice. Balancing daily production demands with the need to preserve evidentiary data, Human Rights Watch’s Media Archive borrows methodologies from digital preservation, information security, and digital forensics to ensure data integrity. This presentation explores the integration of preservation best practices with production and archiving of human rights video.
