Kelvin Smith Library 2014 Digital Scholarship Colloquium
Sound Students in the Archive
Melissa A. Hubbard, Head of Special Collections and Archives, Case Western Reserve University
11/6/2014

This presentation will explore a collaboration between librarians and a Radio & Television faculty member to teach digital preservation methods to undergraduates interested in professional careers in audio engineering. The collaborators designed a series of lecture-based and hands-on instruction sessions to introduce students to a complete audio digitization workflow. Each student eventually digitized a reel-to-reel radio recording from the 1970s, then wrote a paper and participated in a roundtable discussion about digital preservation of archival recordings. Potential future directions for this type of instruction will be considered based on feedback from the student participants.
