Rogue Librarian

I've had a link to this site in my bookmarks since I started my own weblog. They've been busy working at the NY Public Library digitizing 500,000 items and putting them online. Now they are back, working in the area of digital preservation.

I tried to address this in my first network nonlinear editing job, at CBS in 1993. But the wave of digital post-production crashed over us all and now we just race to keep up with deadlines. Nicely organized digital files get wiped as soon as the show is delivered. Finished shows get put into archives and then re-digitized for the next project. Digital cannibals.
