Digitization for Everybody - Audio

Digital archival of audio.

In Dig4E Audio, you learn about the present state of standards and recommended best practices for the digital re-recording of analog audio signals stored on magnetic tape. In most cases, the underlying technical standards for audio digitization are stable and complete, although professionals debate how to apply the standards to a wide variety of audio media. For the vast majority of the audio holdings in cultural heritage organizations, archival quality digitization is technically and administratively feasible.
