Seattle nonprofit Scarecrow Video is world’s largest publicly available audiovisual archive, with over 145,000 titles spanning 125+ years. Many of these titles are only available on VHS, a medium that is highly susceptible to physical degradation. With funding from 4Culture and in collaboration with Moving Image Preservation of Puget Sound, my project resulted in the digital reformatting of 40 rare VHS tapes, with special focus on works by historically marginalized peoples and pieces spotlighting cultural heritage in Seattle. The digital preservation of these works will aid in their indefinite accessibility to researchers and film fans around the world.
