OEAW is the audiovisual research archive of Austria. Founded in 1899, it has accumulated one of the world's major research sound collections. Since 2001 the Archive's activities have been extended to include videographic research footage. Systems have been built up for digital audio and, most recently, for uncompressed digital video archiving. Considerable research activities are also conducted in the field of handling, storage, and preservation of analogue and digital audiovisual data carriers. The Archives has ample experience in re-recording, the optimal signal retrieval from all analogue audio and most video formats. Training courses are held on a regular basis on all issues related to storage, preservation and digital archiving, in Austria and abroad. |
