Introduction to Digital Preservation
February, 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.

Balancing daily production demands with the need to preserve news data, archivists borrow methodologies from IT, information security, and digital forensics to ensure data integrity. This presentation explores the integration of preservation best practices with production and archiving of news media in a variety of complex digital formats.
