“The Library of Congress Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division is carrying out a family of prototyping projects pertaining to the digital preservation of recorded sound, video, and film collections. The prototyping projects are developing approaches for the digital reformatting of moving image and recorded sound collections as well as studying issues related to ‘born-digital’ audio-visual content.” They are also doing a “thorough examination of digital-object packaging and METS metadata.”
