Audio Visual Special Interest Group

Click here for your local time.

The Audiovisual Special Interest Group (AVSIG) brings together any interested staff from DPC Member organizations to discuss issues and challenges relating to the preservation of digital content that is either audio, video, or both. The AVSIG provides an opportunity to share experiences, discuss good practice, and identify and address common problems. It aims to complement, not duplicate, the activities of any pre-existing groups, meetings, or activities that address the long-term preservation of AV content. Priority is given to discussions of real-world experiences and examples of proven good practice.

Subject to final confirmation, we will begin with a presentation from Teresa Soleu, Digital Preservation Manager at the J.Paul Getty Trust, who may be joined by her colleague Chloe Patton, who will describe some of the digital preservation work they undertake and a recent project to digitize film for ingest into their Rosetta preservation system.

Registration (DPC members, please log in to register)

Places are strictly limited and should be booked in advance. Registration is open to DPC members only.
