Presenter:

Isaiah Beard is the Digital Data Curator for Rutgers University Libraries. His primary job at Rutgers is to establish standards and workflow practices for the digitization and encoding of digital assets. His background in digital preservation began with his avid interest in photography and videography, and in the issues facing the field as it shifts from analog film formats into a digital landscape.  He researched and developed standards for the preservation of digital assets that have been adopted by a number of prominent agencies, including the Library of Congress, and members of the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA). 
 
The presentation will be archived so that absentees can review the webinar at a later time. Details about how to view the recorded presentation will be announced after November 1, 2016, on the History & Preservation Section's Continuing Education and Resources page.
