Abstract

The work done by audiovisual preservation specialists to transfer and digitize audiovisual artworks is integral to the preservation of our cultural heritage. The choices that these specialists make, such as what playback decks or capture software to use, can have an enormous impact on the final archival copy that the institution devotes time and funding to preserving. Therefore, a project at the Museum of Modern Art was initiated to create a standardized metadata profile that could record this information. This poster will give a brief overview of the metadata profile.
