How we got in to digital preservation
• In 2000, concert recordings transitioned from DAT to CD-R
• In 2007, we noticed many of those early CD-R recordings had unrecoverable errors
• Digitization effort began with high-risk and high-value recordings
• We didn’t know what we were doing. We just knew we needed to do something.

What we’ve learned
• Done is better than perfect.• A good access system makes
justifying resources for digital preservation much easier.
• Video is hard.• Mangled diacritics are a good warning
sign that you’re doing something wrong.
• We still have a lot to learn.

Where we’d like to be doing better
• Coordinating with other government institutions
• Data integrity and provenance• Preservation of non audio-visual
