Digital Consulting & Production Services, in partnership with CIT and other Cornell stakeholders, led an effort to determine audiovisual preservation needs campus-wide. Cornell University has vast holdings of unique audio and video assets vital to its mission “to discover, preserve, and disseminate knowledge…” These include lectures by luminary figures (Nobel laureates, heads of state, writers, artists and more) as well as original source recordings essential to research in biology, linguistics, art and beyond. The results can be found in the final report (PDF). If you have audiovisual collections and materials that need preservation support, please contact dcaps@cornell.edu.
