Digital Transition for Imperial War Museum,
Like heritage
institutions around the world, London’s Imperial War Museum (IWM) is
renovating its technology infrastructure to take advantage of the
benefits of digital storage. The process is tough and affects many parts
of the institution, not only the physical plant but the people who work
there, too.
As part of the process, IWM implemented a Front Porch Digital SAMMAsolo
system for digitizing its approximately 15,000 analog videotapes, a
third of which are rapidly deteriorating U-matic videocassettes from the
1980s and ’90s.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
