Dear Frameworks, For those of you who are interested in the past, present and future of magnetic media, I encourage you to sign up for this workshop at Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, NY:
Would you like to learn more about video and magnetic media preservation? Join us for an afternoon workshop with Morgan Morel, Preservation Manager at the Bay Area Video Coalition <https://bavc.org/> in San Francisco. Morgan will discuss current methods for transferring old video formats such as mini DV, Hi8, Beta, VHS, Umatic and 1/2″ Open Reel Video, and demonstrate the current digitization workflow being implemented in VSW’s new Media Conversion Lab. Participants may bring a video of their own to convert to a digital file (15 minutes or less). Seating is limited. Tickets can be purchased in advance through the VSW Bookstore <http://bookstore.vsw.org/product/video-preservation-workshop>: http://bookstore.vsw.org/product/video-preservation-workshop You can see examples of magnetic media from the VSW Video collection here: http://www.vsw.org/collections/watch-portable-channel-videos/ Tara Merenda Nelson Curator of Moving Image Collections Visual Studies Workshop Rochester, NY taranel...@vsw.org
