Re: [ARSCLIST] How to find/hire av professionals

It's doubtful that ARSC would recommend any vendor. I don't know if
anyone from the ARSC Technical Committee is on this list, but they would
be the ones to answer your question.

Can the people on this list be assumed to be recommended by ARSC, then?
 Doubtful in Denton....

For the annual conference workshop in Philadelphia earlier this year,
the ARSC Technical Committee compiled a list of engineers who
do preservation and archival transfer work. Perhaps the list can be
posted on the ARSC website?

There are recording studio programs, but frankly, I'm not sure how
many
of
the graduates are interested in archival work as opposed to making the
next
hit. There might be some. You don't know until you ask. I suspect
these
organizations might be turning out more grads than there are job
openings,
but what else is new?

These two have been around in the U.S. for a while (since your ISP
ends
in
.com, I'm making the leap of faith that you're in the U.S.).

Many other countries have taken this more seriously with "Tonmeister"
degree programs at the university level.

You might also contact your local chapter of the Audio Engineering
Society.
Most have newsletters. Some of these accept job postings.
