Library of Congress Plans Digital Clean-Up of Audio Archives
The 78-page document lists 32
recommendations on the preservation project from the National Recording
Board. And the Library of Congress might be going digital. The plan does
mention converting some physical recordings (Edison cylinders, lacquer
discs, 8-tracks, CDs) to digital form. While it is a start, a project of
this size (think the time you take cleaning your apartment and multiply
it by 100,000) will take quite a bit of time. The new plan was
announced by Librarian of Congress James H. Billington, who said, “We
have good reason to be proud of our record of creativity in the
sound-recording arts and sciences.” http://bit.ly/ZxLXAlSource:
