Video Archival Summary of Practice
‘Building a National Strategy for Digital Preservation: Issues in Digital Media Archiving’ http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/pub106/video.html [accessed 27 May 2011]. … The second doesn’t have much information, and is more about archiving language, not video, but that is useful as the issues then are not artefact based, which is relevant to the problems we are investigating and facing.
