Audio Preservation: Moving the Sounds of the Past into the Future

According to the recent surveys, 80% of audio archive content is at 
risk.  Archives and historical societies have legacy recordings in many 
varied formats, discs, and tape.  Some analog equipment is already extinct 
and some carriers are reaching critical levels of degradation, challenging 
archivists and collection managers to transfer information as quickly as 
possible to alternative media, or unique heritage and commercially valuable 
material will be lost. This workshop will feature archival and engineering 
experts presenting up-to-date information on preservation, restoration, and 
intellectual property issues involved in managing audio archives.

Speakers:
·       Richard L. Hess, Broadcast engineer and expert on tape restoration.
·       Lance Bowling, Owner of Cambria Master Recordings and Archives, 
specializing in Southern California's musical past.
·       Anthony Seeger, Professor, Department of Ethnomusicology, UCLA; 
previously Curator of the Folkways Collection and Director of Smithsonian 
Folkways Recordings at the Smithsonian Institution, 1988 - 2000.
·       Louise Spear, Archivist for the Ethnomusicology Archive at UCLA.

When: January 25, 2002, 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
Where: California State University, Northridge Oviatt Library, Presentation 
Room, Room 81
