Two webinar series plus three in-person workshops to train preservation practitioners in PBCore, a metadata schema designed to organize and provide access to audiovisual collections.  The applicant would also translate the PBCore website into Spanish, which would broaden use of the metadata schema to include Spanish-speaking heritage institutions in the United States and abroad.

The PBCore Audiovisual Metadata Training Project will provide in-person and virtual continuing education opportunities focused on the PBCore metadata standard for archivists and media professionals tasked with the stewardship of audiovisual material. The Project will support a webinar series aimed at introducing small cultural heritage institutions to key concepts of audiovisual metadata; three in-person workshops targeted, respectively, at archivists, media/production professionals, and others who can demonstrate a need for PBCore training; a Spanish-language translation of the PBCore website and educational materials; and a series of Spanish-language webinars introducing the use of PBCore for archivists working with Spanish-language collections.
