• Archives digitize for access and preservation
• Film is preserved photochemically • Much more audio is digitized than video or
film – Less expensive than video or film – Smaller file sizes

TDD2 key recommendation
• Collaborations are crucial – Cooperatives and resource sharing – Research and prototyping projects – Revenue sharing between content creators
and archives – Lower cost approaches: open source software
and p2p networks

And we tried to do that
• Proposal: build a distributed motion picture archive test bed for small archives – Run it for 5 years – Develop economic sustainability models – Learn something

And we tried to do that
• Proposal: build a distributed motion picture archive test bed for small archives – Run it for 5 years – Develop economic sustainability models – Learn something
• Applied (twice) for an NEH grant – Not because we need the money – we re-
deploy most of it – Deadline-driven, collaborative projects get
results

A few initial thoughts (subject to change)
• Guidance: provide the “questions to be asked” by indies and small archives since there’s no one-size-fits-all digital archiving solution

• Guidance: provide the “questions to be asked” by indies and small archives since there’s no one-size-fits-all digital archiving solution
• Permanence: a range of views, still nothing like film
