Sustainable Audiovisual Collections Through Collaboration

Description

The art and science of audiovisual preservation and access has evolved at breakneck speed in the digital age. The Joint Technical Symposium (JTS) is organized by the Coordinating Council of Audiovisual Archives Associations and brings experts from around the world to learn of technologies and developments in the technical issues affecting the long-term survival and accessibility of audiovisual collections. This collection of essays is derived from presentations made at the 2016 JTS held in Singapore and presents an overview of the latest audiovisual preservation methods and techniques, archival best practices in media storage, as well as analog-to-digital conversion challenges and their solutions.

Introduction

With the unique city-state of Singapore providing the backdrop, the most recent Joint Technical Symposium (JTS) was held March 7-9, 2016, and addressed the theme, Sustainable Audiovisual Collections Through Collaboration. This ninth JTS was co-organized by the Southeast Asia-Pacific Audiovisual Archive Association (SEAPAVAA) and the National Archives of Singapore under the auspices of the Coordinating Council of Audiovisual Archives (CCAAA).
The symposium attendees, 210 registrants representing 29 different countries, not only represented a wide and vast swath of the globe, but also a broad array of the wide-ranging professions that make up our field of audiovisual preservation and archiving today.
Singapore, famously known as the garden city, afforded us the special privilege of enjoying one of the most distinctive cityscapes anywhere. The primary host location, the elegant modern addition of the National Museum of Singapore was no exception. In contrast to the original historic structure, which serves as the public face of the Museum, the addition features a light-filled atrium made of glass walls and ceilings creating a venue that mirrors the architecture and culture of the city. The juxtaposition of contemporary structures with historic, colonial ones elevates contrast to a defining feature of the city. Especially apparent in the downtown harbor area are dramatic, bold new creations such as the hard-to-miss Marina Bay Sands, a three-towered structure topped with a Skypark shaped like a boat. This astonishing edifice, built as a focal point of the harbor, faces the ingress of the river, its banks reminiscent of the city s not so distant past.
Turning to the symposia and the JTS itself, this 2016 iteration followed the format of the eight prior symposia. At the core and throughout each event, the JTS has been a dedicated conference focused on the international scientific and technical issues pertaining to audiovisual archives and archivists. A review of the past 23 years of JTS programs reveals that the changes in symposia have reflected current technological advancements while maintaining a core focus on efforts to preserve the collections: film, audio, video, and now digital.
The very first JTS, for example, included papers covering the basic handling of nitrate film, long-term storage of videotape and, what were at the time, some of the newest storage, reformatting options-in one case, optical storage discs for preservation masters. As the symposium has evolved over time, discussions of digital storage and reformatting options ap
