Abstract
In this paper Allison Foster (Rootstein Hopkins Foundation Archive Cataloguer) and Jack Maynard (Rootstein Hopkins Foundation Conservator) discuss the processes and challenges faced by them when cataloguing, digitising and preserving the Audio Arts Archive held at Tate Archive and the future plans and legacy of the project.
Highlights
The magazine was in continuous publication for 33 years and ran to 24 volumes of 4 issues each, together with more than 60 supplements
The intention is that the Audio Arts material will be re-launched online to allow for new interpretations and responses and to provide unprecedented international access to the material
The project started in January 2010 when the Audio Arts cataloguer was appointed, Allison Foster, followed six months later by the conservator, Jack Maynard
Summary
The magazine was in continuous publication for 33 years and ran to 24 volumes of 4 issues each, together with more than 60 supplements. The project aims are to catalogue the archive to file or item level where appropriate – paying particular attention to the audio recordings – to digitise the published and unpublished recordings to high resolution WAV format, to preserve the source materials and resultant digital masters and to disseminate the archive via the Tate website
