  8. Best Practices • Have multiple copies • Store them in different locations • Store them under proper conditions • Plan for Migration • Record the acquisition date • Don’t label a CD-R using a Sharpie

  9. Archiving is the end of a long process And the beginning of a longer process

  10. How can the process be simplified?

  11. Most companies are using legacy systems • Design a new production and archiving system from scratch • Buy a new soup-to-nuts program

  12. NPR is using Dalet for production • But we archive on media outside of Dalet • We use Techlib to catalog and find content

  13. CNN is using Pinnacle for editing • But archiving on video tape • Cataloging on customized database • Using Sony and IBM as designers/contractors to build ideal system

  14. XM Satellite Radio • Uses Dalet for production, automation, and archiving • XM is well-funded and brand new

  15. Some DAM software • Radioman (from IBM) • BullDog • North Plains Systems • Artesia • KMPG professional services

  16. Presto • The European broadcasters are cooperating to develop systems to save their archives

  17. Twin pillars • Archiving is both Preservation and Access

  18. How to provide Access • Good cataloging • Good transcripts • Good playback equipment • Speech to text software not ready for prime time

  19. What is your mission? • Archiving all original content? • Archiving acquired content? • What does that include? Stories, pictures, ads, graphics, sound, video. • Original content from your web page? • Corporate press releases? • Minutes of the Board of Directors meetings?

  20. Two Thoughts • Digital information lasts forever, or for five years. Whichever comes first – Jeff Rothenberg • Continuity is tough when times are changing – Stewart Brand
