</div><div><br></div>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.<div><br></div>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. <br><div><br></div>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. <br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="border:1px solid rgb(211,211,211);max-width:850px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><div style="background-color:rgb(245,245,245);padding:5px 20px"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%"><tbody><tr><td style="padding-top:4px;font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(99,99,99)"><div><font size="2">Maureen</font></div><div><font size="2"><i><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)">Maureen Flanagan Battistella, MLS (she, hers)<br></span></i></font></div><div><font size="2"><i><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)">Oregon Heritage Commissioner, 2022-2026<br></span></i></font></div><div><font size="2"><i><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)">Southern Oregon University Sociology/Anthropology</span></i></font></div><div><font size="2"><i><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"><a href="http://storiesofsouthernoregon.com" target="_blank">Stories of Southern Oregon</a> on <a href="http://youtube.com/c/storiesofsouthernoregon" target="_blank">YouTube</a> in the</span></span></i></font></div><div><font size="2"><i><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"><a href="http://soda.sou.edu" target="_blank">Southern Oregon Digital Archives at SOU</a> and</span></span></i></font></div><div><font size="2"><i><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)">in the Stories collection in the <a href="https://archive.org/search?query=subject%3A%22Stories+of+Southern+Oregon%22" target="_blank">Internet Archives</a><br></span></span></i></font></div><font size="2"><i><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)">TA117 541-552-0743</span></i></font></td>
