This two-hour workshop covered the key concepts and technology pertaining to recorded sound preservation and digitization in libraries, archives, and museums. This workshop was aimed at persons with some prior understanding of audiovisual materials but not requiring advanced technical knowledge. The presentation outlined the typical elements in audio preservation and digitization activities: an overview of legacy audio carriers and how to assess their condition, discussion of digitization and digital preservation concepts and technologies, recommendations for digital audio target formats, a few words about outsourcing, and information about where to turn for additional help to learn more.
