The development of a digital asset management system, the improvement of a public access website, and the digital conversion of 83,000 audiovisual recordings in the WGBH Media Library and Archives.

WGBH, a leading producer of humanities programming for public media, seeks to build digital capacity and infrastructure in its Media Library and Archives (MLA) so that archived assets can be preserved and made more accessible and useful to scholars, educators, media producers, and the public. As a result of these activities, we anticipate increased use of MLA assets to create and enrich new humanities publications and media productions.
