</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>
