Video Preservation II

(2 Credits)

Video Preservation II is the second of two courses that give students direct experience with the process of reformatting analog video materials for preservation and access. This course focuses primarily on lab work, deepening the skills and principles introduced in Video Preservation I. The course also emphasizes the management of preservation projects through assignments involving both the outsourcing of collections to vendors and the use of in-house labs. In addition, a series of off-campus excursions expose the students to preservation practices for formats unavailable in the NYU labs.
