Workshop Partner: Center for Oral History (COH) at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Host Site: ʻUluʻulu: The Henry Kuʻualoha Giugni Moving Image Archive of Hawai’i
Organized in conjunction with the annual conference of The International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA) and hosted by ʻUluʻulu: The Henry Kuʻualoha Giugni Moving Image Archive of Hawai’i, this one-day workshop centers community building and the preservation of audiovisual collections. It will bring together archivists and community volunteers to support the preservation of an audiovisual collection of the Center for Oral History (COH) at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, which collects, documents, preserves, and highlights the recollections of Native Hawaiians and the multi-ethnic people of Hawaiʻi.
The workshop begins with educational presentations addressing the identification of audiovisual formats and their risk factors. Participants will then break into groups and work together to inspect and inventory the collection. There will also be demonstrations of film inspection and audio and video digitization.
Through the workshop, the collection partner, host site, and other day-of participants will learn to identify different audiovisual formats and their risk factors, establish controlled vocabulary for description of collections, and document and prioritize collections for preservation. Workshop participants will be handling compact audio cassettes, MiniDV video tapes, and optical discs.
