Digital content can be the result of analog-to-digital transfers, or be born-digital. To preserve these works into the future, conservators must be familiar with proprietary file formats, systems used to create and render content, and production workflows behind content creation. Performing managed digital preservation actions are more complex than with static content: files are larger (making fixity checks and storage requirements intensive); the analog-to-digital preservation process must be carefully tracked through metadata; and proprietary formats must be migrated to newer generations or open formats while being mindful of content file interdependencies. Many museums and custodial institutions\u2014as well as the creators themselves\u2014lack infrastructure and staff expertise to perform managed digital preservation actions on this content. This paper will provide an overview of the issues surrounding preserving digital time-based media, and describe the Audiovisual Archive Network (AVAN), a non-profit digital preservation service for educational, arts-based, cultural heritage, and government organizations as well as individual creators.[1]<\/p>\n<h2>NOTES<\/h2>\n<p>[1] Shortly after the AIC conference, AVAN\u2019s institutional partner, the UCLA Library, withdrew from our partnership and the Mellon Foundation proposal we were drafting.
