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.
