Digital Curation for Audiovisual Materials: Two Case Studies of Non-Academic Repositories

Few studies have examined the digital curation practices of audiovisual materials from the perspective of the digital object lifecycle. With a plethora of existing video content and more being produced at a steady rate, it is important that repositories have a plan for the long-term digital preservation of their video assets. Of particular interest is audiovisual preservation outside of academic repositories. In this case study, the digital curation strategies of two non-academic repositories handling digital video assets were analyzed in relation to the digital object lifecycle. Findings from these cases provide insight into real-world practice and suggest that digital preservation planning in these environments requires more attention.Master of Science in Library Scienc
