Project poster

SAM’s Historic Media Collection is home to a rich body of archival material documenting key moments in the history of the museum, Seattle, King County, and the Pacific Northwest. The preservation of this collection is urgent as a majority of the content exists solely in unstable media formats. This capstone was a case study for a potential large-scale preservation initiative for this collection. 60 items about the Seattle Asian Art Museum, held in a variety of formats, were digitized to current preservation and access standards. Collection policies pertaining to rights management, collection scope, and workflow were also developed.
