Jonathan Farbowitz, University of California Berkeley Libraries, Summer 2015, IMLS
At the Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley I performed a comprehensive collection assessment of moving image items in the Bancroft’s collection. This included assessments of storage conditions, item-level inspection, and interviews with staff. To conclude my internship I gave presentations to the Bancroft staff about the state of the collection. At the California Audiovisual Preservation Project I participated in every aspect of the digitization workflow, from examining nominations, processing new materials for shipment to the digitization vendor, inspecting the vendor’s files for quality, and finally making the files accessible via upload to the Internet Archive.
