The Preservation to Access Pipeline for the EMI Music Canada Audiovisual Collection [Conference presentation]. CNI Fall Meeting 2022, Washington, DC, USA.http://hdl.handle.net/1880/115580https://dx.doi.org/10.11575/PRISM/40520At CNI’s fall 2017 meeting, University of Calgary (UCalgary) Libraries and Archives gave an update about a then-new acquisition of the complete Archive of EMI Music Canada and its partner labels, a donation from Universal Music Canada. The UCalgary team collaborated across libraries and archives to create a robust conservation-to-preservation-to-access pipeline for the audiovisual recordings before they were forever lost, and the multi-year, multi-grant project is near its end. This session will describe the project’s overarching goals, methods, and decisions on how to make the collection available and useful to researchers now and in the future. It will also provide an account of the kinds of challenges inherent in a preservation project of this scale and strategies used to mitigate those challenges. This work was completed with the generous support of the Mellon Foundation and Universal Music Canada.engUnless otherwise indicated, this material is protected by copyright and has been made available with authorization from the copyright owner.
