Spin It Again: Digitizing Vinyl in the Seattle Pacific University Archive
The Seattle Pacific University Archives contain a range of recorded sound objects, including vinyl phonographic discs of performances by university music groups. I digitized this collection of vinyl discs using a USB-enabled turntable and Audacity software, creating WAV and MP3 recordings. The purpose was to increase ease of access for the archivist, the SPU community, and other researchers to this collection. I created a workflow outlining my steps when digitizing and gave this document to the SPU archivist, to aid further digitization efforts and supplement training for future workers.
