Moving Image Preservation of Puget Sound (MIPoP) is a non-profit 501-(c)(3)
corporation formed in 2014 to help preserve cultural moving images by
assisting local institutions with the conversion of analog video recordings
to digital formats according to archival best practices. MIPoPS supports
videotape digitization and preservation by heritage organizations with
neither the resources nor expertise to address these at-risk materials.
Hopfauf will provide an overview of MIPoPS and their work with local and
national archives to preserve their moving image collections – topics
include accessibility, digitization, documentation, sustainable tools, and
outreach, including archival screenings, training, and education programs.

Since 2015 MIPoPS has worked with more than 30 local archives, museums,
historical societies, libraries and heritage institutions, as well as
artists and art organizations to digitize over 7,000 videotapes, containing
over 20,000 hours of content.1,933 files are publicly available via MIPoPS
Internet Archive collection. Within their model, each institution provides
a representative (either an employee or volunteer) to be trained by MIPoPS
in analog-to-digital transfers of videotape, enabling each organization to
preserve and provide access to their moving image materials and furthering
the broader goal of education about magnetic media preservation. This makes
our model more sustainable as a growing number of archivists are empowered
to care for theiraudiovisual records.

Libby Savage Hopfauf is the Co-Executive Director at Moving Image
Preservation of Puget Sound and Project Audiovisual Archivist at Seattle
Municipal Archives in Seattle, Washington (working for both organizations
since 2015). She received a Master’s in Library and Information Science
from the University of Washington and a Bachelor of the Arts in Creative
Writing with a minor in Sociology from Western Washington University. As
the co-Executive Director of MIPoPS, Hopfauf has worked with over 30 local
heritage institutions in the process of digitizing their magnetic media.
She provides training and onsite assistance to participating institution
representatives, supervises digitization, plans and orchestrates outreach
events, creates and maintains supplemental comprehensive documentation, and
digitization workflow. She has served as the Project Manager for the
DVRescue and Digital Video Commander projects, working to develop
open-source tools and documentation for capturing digital videotape
formats. Hopfauf is passionate about creating resources that provide
intuitive use of open-source tools, making the digitizing process
accessible to archivists with a wide variety of skill-levels, to ensure the
sustainability of institutions to preserve their videotape and conquer the
magnetic media crisis.
