AVPS Recognized In The Image Permanence Institute’s Magnetic Media Study Report Funded By The National Endowment For The Humanities (NEH)

AVPS was honored to collaborate with the stellar team at the Image Permanence Institute (IPI) on their Magnetic Media Study. This study aims to find correlative and causal relationships between detectable degradation mechanisms and quality of reproduction. In finding such relationships, tools can be created similar to the IPI Acid Detection Strip, which will detect a known indicator of failure.

AVPS was proud to be asked to share our experience and knowledge on the matter of assessment and we are thankful to the Image Permanence Institute for the opportunity to work together. You can view the special thanks to AVPS, and more importantly the full report from the study in the coming months.

AVPS Contributes To The Newly Launched Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) Online Preservation Resource

When AVPS was asked to contribute to the Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) online preservation resource by bringing clarity to the client/preservation vendor relationship, we gladly accepted. The client/vendor relationship and matching of audiovisual preservation goals with institutional capability is a primary activity of AVPS. Given the present state of audiovisual preservation standards and best practices, this is a topic worthy of much conversation for the sake of needed clarification.

We were happy to have the opportunity to lend a helping hand in navigating this difficult path. You can download the resource created by AVPS in the resources section of our website.

AVPS Invited To Join The Advisory Board For The Recently Launched NYU Preservation Department Assessment Project Funded By The Mellon Foundation

AVPS was asked to join the advisory board for the NYU Preservation Department Assessment Project due to our experience with assessing dynamic objects (audiovisual media and content) and for our perspective on the landscape of current assessment projects and technologies.

The project titled “Developing Principles and Methodologies for Moving Image and Audio Preservation in Research Libraries” will conduct research to develop new surveying methodologies for video and audio collections.

Results will ultimately aid in the development of best practices for assessment and preservation planning. We are proud to serve on the advisory board and look forward to working with the excellent team assembled to take on the project.
