charlie working at NYPL
Interning at the New York Public Library provided me with a varied and rich experience in the world of audiovisual archiving. I was able to see essentially the entire life cycle of a preservation process, from the first inspection, to the digitization, to the management of the newly created digital files. I was able to gain hands on experience working with formats and techniques that I had never done before, especially in regards to audio formats such as audiocassette tapes and lacquer disks. Being at NYPL was a valuable and exciting opportunity, one that taught me many things about how this career and field operates on a broader scale.
