Subject: [AV Media Matters] Article on Corbis archive
Hello,
I just finished reading the article in today's Washington Post
Magazine
on the Corbis archive and the critical situation with the last
century's
still photos. While the article does not really mention film and
electronic media preservation, it does a good job explaining why still
photos are at risk and some of the solutions being undertaken. It
also
hints at the notions of "preservation" and "archiving" as important
functions in society.
This is certainly a good start in making the general public aware of
the
potential for cultural loss in all media. I was heartened to see such
an article in Post!
