The TAPE project has issued an overview of audio and video carriers by Dietrich 
Schüller of the Phonogrammarchiv, Austrian Academy of  Sciences. The text 
systematically describes recording principles, storage and handling, 
maintenance of equipment, format and equipment obsolence, for each type of 
carrier, and includes a list of recommended reading. It provides a solid, 
non-technical introduction for all those professionally managing sound and 
video collections. 

 

The overview is a full text version of presentations used in TAPE workshops by 
Dietrich Schüller and Albrecht Haefner. It is available as a PDF file at 
http://www.tape-online.net/docs/audio_and_video_carriers.pdf 
<http://www.tape-online.net/docs/audio_and_video_carriers.pdf> (330 KB).

 

 

The TAPE project, Training for Audiovisual Preservation in Europe,

Culture 2000-programme of the EU.
