Preservation Week: Preservation Week 2014: Caring for Your Personal Media

Presenters: Jonah Volk, Media Preservation Coordinator, and Rebecca Holte, Special Projects Coordinator, Barbara Goldsmith Preservation Division, New York Public Library

Unsure of how to care for your home movies, audio recordings, or other film, video or audio materials? Worried about the long-term preservation of your personal digital materials, including documents, photos, and websites? In this presentation, NYPL preservation staff will share strategies for protecting and archiving your personal audiovisual media and digital files. The focus will be on approaches that you can use at home to help ensure the survival of your materials. Please note that digitization of analog media will not be covered.

This presentation is one in a series of public events sponsored by The New York Public Library Barbara Goldsmith Preservation Division as part of the American Library Association’s Preservation Week.
