Digital Asset Management and Audiovisual Preservation: Will We Be Glad We Did This in Ten Years?

---

Abstract

Audiovisual resources are technological by nature. Most carriers (with few exceptions) require machines to encode and to decode the information. As technology advances, so, too, do the complexities of audiovisual resources management. Because of the increased (and now almost exclusive) nature of audiovisuals as digital objects, archivists charged with preserving and maintaining information in the audiovisual realm must be in tune with digital management in order to succeed in providing long-term care to audiovisual collections.
