Media Preservation
Services
Professional services for Archives, Museums, Libraries, Corporations and the general public.
Preservation
Planning
It's more than a mindset- we
look beyond current production practices and identify
procedures that will ensure your collections remain vibrant
far into the future. We guide museums, archives, libraries,
corporations and private collectors in cutting through the
"festering forest of format confusion" to achieve
long-lasting results.
Storage Environment Assessment
Storage Conditions are the #1
improvement needed by most media collections.
A temperature
increase of just ten degrees can cut the life expectancy of
motion picture film in half . Add to that the negative
effects of moisture, dust, unstable shelving and nearby
flammables, all of which can threaten priceless media
collections, and it’s easy to see why a storage
environment evaluation from SummitDay Media is your first
step to security and peace of mind. We’ll provide you
with a detailed report pinpointing exactly where to focus
your storage improvement efforts.
Audiovisual
Media Condition Assessment
Preservation planning starts
with a condition assessment and obsolescence rating,
providing a precise look at the current state of your media
collection. Deacetylation? Edge damage? Binder hydrolysis?
Oxide flaking? Print through? It's not "greek" to us and
we'll make sure you understand any and all issues your
collections may be facing.
Disaster
Planning
A/V media-specific disaster
planning will save your staff precious minutes should
tragedy strike and critical decisions be needed quickly.
Having a plan in place can help prevent further damage to
your collection by first responders (even those with good
intentions).
