Projects and Case Studies

VidArch at SILS
School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina (Date Created: 2006) (United States of America)
This project was focused on developing a preservation framework for digital video context by initially applying it to two important digital video collections: the complete series of NASA broadcast educational videos and the complete set of juried ACM SIGCHI videos presented at annual conferences from 1983 to the present. Later focus was on the US Presidential Election of 2008 and Internet services such as YouTube. Bibliography of papers and demonstrations available from the site. This project was an NDIIPP demonstration project and supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
