Hi-as many of the Alliance members know, the CDP had an IMLS grant
several years ago-the Sound Model grant which many of the Alliance
members participated in.  The content is currently accessible through
Heritage West, and is stored on servers hosted at DU.  The grant created
Best Practices for Digital Audio which are used nationwide, those Best
Practices are available on the BCR website for anyone to use.  The
content was converted for many of the participants by Safe Sound Audio
and for others by AirShow Mastering.  In the last 6 months, BCR has
entered into agreements with both of these organizations, which provides
discounts off their standard pricing.

 

As part of the IMLS National Leadership grant that BCR submitted in
partnership with the MetaArchive and which the ADR is a partner on, we
will be providing a long term preservation solution for the Sound Model
content.  

 

Leigh Grinstead and I have been following much of the national
activities on digital audio and video and we are hosting a Free Friday
forum on September 11th at 10am with Ann Blonston of AirShow mastering
on Digital Audio Project in today's economy: a case for partnerships.
