Consulting

We’ve had our hands on film and video for more than 30 years — our own archive, and plenty of other people’s. Duke University. The Internet Archive. NASA. Indiana University. Appalshop. Albania Film Archive. Plus a long tail of collections nobody’s heard of yet.

Somewhere along the way people started asking how we do it. So now we do that too.

What we help with

• Cataloging and collection processing — figuring out what you actually have.
• Film and videotape prep, and digitizing — getting fragile material ready, and getting it scanned.
• Metadata for audiovisual works — so the material stays findable after we’re gone.
• Access copies for online distribution — the versions your audience will actually watch.
• Training — walking your staff through video and audio digitizing workflows.
