| "Introduction: The purpose of this document is to clarify what must be done to transform an analog videotape archive to a digital video archive. With the advent of digital, archivists with video in their collection will have to learn new procedures and new technologies and break some old paradigms. These archivists will find it useful to think of their digital archive as an Active Archive. This means that digital material will not be sitting on shelves gathering dust. Digital material will be either on-line and used often or available to be on-line." | |
