It’s a tricky question, because there isn’t one single correct answer. Usually, our reply is, “It […]

She poses the question many of us frequently hear: Why isn't everything digitized yet? She then proceeds with a nicely articulated description of some of the challenges, then quantifies them:
- Archiving Project: Burma Humanitarian Mission This report is from Jenn Blaylock, NYU Moving Image Archiving & Preservation Program: As my time interning at WITNESS Media Archive comes to a close I thought I’d share the details of the archival project that I’ve been working on with the archival blogosphere.
