DAMsmart has recently completed a digitisation project for WIN Corporation and Crawford Productions PTY LTD, digitising iconic Australian Television series from the 60’s though to the 90’s.

Video archivists are required to be some of the most diverse users of tools and resources available today out of all video based professions and rich media archives.

To extend on my previous post, technical metadata is critical in a multi stream video digitisation environment with video originating from many different formats.

DAMsmart has undertaken a project to digitise all of the local news content produced by Prime Orange, starting from 1962 through to 2008.

One of the first key steps when considering a digitisation project is to clearly think through and delineate the reasons why digitisation is right for that particular collection.

No entity, large or small is immune from the issue of losing content on magnetic media or film.
