Abstract
The emerging field of digital preservation can learn from the twentieth-century experiences of audiovisual preservation. Unlike preservation of art, artifacts, and paper, audiovisual preservation has faced rapid cycles of format obsolescence that have required significant effort to refresh, migrate, and emulate. Besser shows how the NYU Moving Image Archiving and Preservation program prepares students to work in this dynamic field. Students in the program are introduced to all aspects of preservation through classroom learning and in internship- and volunteer opportunities. His paper presents a blueprint for preservation education.
