The development of a suite of open-source, quality-control software tools that will ensure accurate and efficient assessment of video media integrity throughout the archival digitization process.

To aid in the nation's efforts to preserve its video history, the Bay Area Video Coalition (BAVC) requests $350,000 over two years to develop an open source and freely available software "toolkit" to help perform sophisticated quality control on video digitization workflows. BAVC, in partnership with the Dance Heritage Coalition (DHC) and independent consultant Dave Rice, will create Quality Control Tools for Video Preservation (QC Tools), a suite of open source software tools that will ensure accurate and efficient assessment of media integrity throughout the archival digitization process.
