Research Center
proudly present a Southern California Winter Workshop
Audio Preservation: Moving the Sounds of the Past into the Future
According to the recent surveys, 80% of audio archive content is at
risk. Archives and historical societies have legacy recordings in many
varied formats, discs, and tape. Some analog equipment is already extinct
and some carriers are reaching critical levels of degradation, challenging
archivists and collection managers to transfer information as quickly as
possible to alternative media, or unique heritage and commercially valuable
material will be lost. This workshop will feature archival and engineering
experts presenting up-to-date information on preservation, restoration, and
intellectual property issues involved in managing audio archives.
Speakers:
· Richard L. Hess, Broadcast engineer and expert on tape restoration.
· Lance Bowling, Owner of Cambria Master Recordings and Archives,
specializing in Southern California's musical past.
· Anthony Seeger, Professor, Department of Ethnomusicology, UCLA;
previously Curator of the Folkways Collection and Director of Smithsonian
Folkways Recordings at the Smithsonian Institution, 1988 - 2000.
· Louise Spear, Archivist for the Ethnomusicology Archive at UCLA.
When: January 25, 2002, 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
