DigitalForward Can Take You Into a New World of Archiving
DigitalForward is a World Leader in Preservation and
Restoration of AV Media
Old Audio and Video Tapes Have Two Major Problems:
- The playback tape recorders are no longer being made.
- Many of the old tapes are degrading.
DigitalForward upgrades old audio and video tapes by restoring them to
playable condition and transferring them to a new format.
Digitizing Audio and Video Collections Creates New Opportunities:
- If Hard Disk Drives are the media-of-choice, your archive will not require rigid temperature and humidity control.
- Tapes that are transferred to digital media require very little space, so they can be stored on or under a table in the office area.
What is Best for Your Archive?
- We will analyze your present collection and recommend the best solution for upgrading.
- We have worked with all sizes of audio and video archives--from 300 hours of material to over
50,000 hours.
- Digital Forward can recommend procedures for the future management of newly digitized
material.
Preservation, Access, and Distribution (PAD):
- DigitalForward will recommend digital media and methods to meet your long-term storage and retrieval needs.
- We will help you put some of your collection on-line to show the world what you have.
Funds and Budgets:
- We develop management and migration plans to match limited budgets.
- Digital Forward will help create a document aimed at management and funders. This document will define the issues and the probable consequences if the collection is not digitized soon.
- We will assist you in obtaining funds through grant writing.
