A continuing education program in preservation of
audiovisual collections for tribal archives, libraries, and museums that
includes establishment of five regional hubs (across the continental United States,
Alaska, and Hawaii), delivery of six regional workshops for approximately 140
participants, development of preservation plans for select audiovisual
collections, and development of educational resources, such as toolkits,
guides, protocols, and templates for film inspection and digitization.
The Community Archiving
Workshop, a project of the Association of Moving Image Archivists, proposes to
address the widespread threat to a/v (film, video, audio) holdings in
humanities collections through a series of regional workshops for tribal
archives, libraries and museums (TALMs). In a 2012 survey, 60% of responding
TALMs stated that they are stewards of important a/v recordings. In partnership
with the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries and Museums, CAW proposes to
support efforts to preserve and improve access to these collections by training
tribal archivists and librarians to inventory and assess their collections, and
to prioritize and prepare them for digitization. Each workshop involves group
webinars, the delivery of online training models, and onsite workshops in which
participants learn to identify different media formats and risk factors,
establish controlled vocabulary for description of a/v collections, and
document and prioritize collections for preservation.

Abstract: Audiovisual Collections Care in Tribal Archives
To help improve stewardship of audiovisual collections the Community Archiving Workshop, in partnership with the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums, is providing five (5) tribal cultural institutions in the Southwest an opportunity to participate in a remote learning cohort. Organizations will come together for online training and be individually matched with a CAW mentor to: (1) Identify preservation needs for their AV collection, (2) Set attainable goals to inspect and inventory that collection, (3) Develop an audiovisual preservation plan for their organization.
