Digital AV Media:1. Born Digital
2. Digitized from an analog / physical source
5. Photo from the Library of Congress via Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3738806589/
Static Media
Viewed with the naked eye
Utilized without additional components
Very long useful life if stored properly
6. Magnetic Media
Dependent on machines to view and utilize
Media are fragile
Industry changes results in format
obsolescence

7. Digital Media
Not tangible
Even more dependencies
More frequent obsolescence of various components
Playback requirements not obvious
More content than ever before
11. “There is simply not enough equipment to
play them all back.”
“the small population of decks make it mathematically
improbable that a great deal of this work can ever be
transferred - there is simply not enough equipment to do it -
at any price.”
“We have lost the chance to save it all - now
we must move quickly to identify and save
what is critical.”
-Jim Lindner,“End of Quad and One Inch” Discussion on AMIA-L, 21 May 2009
12. Preservation of physical media...
Primarily required good storage and
disaster protection

Preservation of digital media
Much more than just good storage and
disaster protection
22. Despite storing CD-Rs
recorded in ideal conditions,
tech site TechARP unboxed
300 CDs recorded between 7
to 9 years ago, and found that
they have a failure rate
approaching 10 percent for
the first 173 discs--the
restoration is still on-going.

23. Lack of METADATA
“If a piece of program material is not
correctly placed and identified on a digital
system, it might as well not be there - no one
will be able to find it or even know it exists.”

Lack / loss of
organizational support
and resources

REQUIREMENTS
26. 1. BIT
PRESERVATION
Sustaining the 0s and 1s, or
ensuring that the video,
audio, and ancillary files
remain intact over time with
no loss or corruption of
bits

27. 2. ACCESIBILITY AND
USABILITY OF CONTENT
Ensuring that video, audio, and ancillary files can be
found, retrieved, interpreted, played back, and
delivered to the appropriate users.

28. 3. ORGANIZATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE
An entity (repository) explicitly responsible for keeping
the content alive and accessible.

30. Authenticity
Requirements
“The archive accomplishes [preservation and access] by taking
ownership of the records, ensuring that they are understandable to the
accessing community, and managing them so as to preserve their
information content and authenticity.” - OAIS
B6.10 Repository enables the dissemination of authentic
copies of the original or objects traceable to originals.
- Trustworthy Repositories Audit and Certification
“Authentication, or the demonstration of authenticity...includes both technical and
procedural aspects. Technical approaches may include the maintenance of detailed
documentation of digital provenance (the history of the object), the preservation of a
version of the object that is, bit-wise, identical to the content as submitted” - PREMIS
33. Refer to the ISO standard OAIS (Open Archival
Information System) Reference Model

44. ACCESS
DIP
Facilitates requests to archival storage and data
management, generates Dissemination Information
Packages, delivers information in the appropriate
format to users.
