Abstract
This article discusses the HBO Archive’s Endangered Formats Project, a preservation initiative that started in 2017. The purpose of this project was to migrate some of HBO’s oldest original programming off obsolete media formats. The first format targeted for migration was the 2-inch Quadruplex videotape. These tapes were digitised and transferred to file as MXF AS-02 (Material Exchange Format Application Specification) bundles. These preservation packages were ingested into a media asset management system in addition to being backed up to seventh-generation LTO (linear tape-open) tapes.
