APEX Workshops Descriptions/ Descripción de los talleres
The NYU MIAP Audiovisual Preservation Exchange (APEX) 2019 edition will take place in Puerto Rico, from May 27 to June 7. We had a record number of institutions wanting to partner. We hope that the common dialogue and exchange through the various open activities planned will turn into long-term collaborations throughout the islands. We will be working mostly in San Juan and a small group will visit Vieques Island.
During this edition of APEX, we will concentrate our efforts on workshops and skill sharing this will be the most valuable contribution since a vast number of institutions expressed the need for support in these areas. APEX understands the value of training the trainers and the potential of sustainability that sharing knowledge and skills represents for institutions. These workshops and conferences will target areas such as disaster preparedness and recovery, digitizing media collections, working with vendors, fundraising and sustainability, and digital preservation.
