Abstract
Presented at the 2018 Annual Conference of the Association of Moving Image Archivists. The Public Broadcasting Preservation Fellowship is an IMLS-funded experimental model to provide graduate students in LIS programs with specialized training in audiovisual preservation by offering funded, ten-week fellowships to digitize at-risk local public television and radio content. Fellows at the University of Oklahoma were trained in the fundamental concepts of audio and video digitization; fellows then established a digitization station, selected assets and performed hands-on digitization work at their host stations, and shepherded the ingest of the digitized materials into the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (a collaboration between WGBH and the Library of Congress). Then they brought that experience and training back to their graduate programs and created documentation while establishing long-term replicability in support of ongoing AV preservation education for students and the community. This poster will represent the efforts of two OU Public Broadcasting Preservation Fellows, who created the digitization station within the OU LIS Graduate Program to preserve at-risk material for long-term preservation. This poster will focus on the project's collaborative methodologies, replicability, and prospective long-term impact on the participating schools, stations, students, and community. Collaboration between the fellows, experts in the field, and departments of the university was vital to the success of the project. The replicable design of the fellowship will be showcased, as well as how that replication is being used to further AV digitization at OU. The poster will include an overview of the project's achievements and challenges, emphasize the importance of collaboration, and highlight the overarching lessons and goals for the project.
