In celebration of World Digital Preservation Day and UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, George Blood LP is hosting our first Open House on Monday, October 23, 2023. We invite librarians, archivists, engineers, movie buffs, collectors, scholars, and anyone interested to tour our 41,000 square foot facility and learn how we transfer audio, video, film and data to digital files. The event runs from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm and a detailed schedule will be released once interest has been gauged. In addition to the tour, the Open House will include buffet lunch, discussions with our knowledgeable staff, and the opportunity to discover more about a time-based item from your collection.
Have an audio item, video tape, or film reel that you would like to learn more about? George Blood LP invites attendees to bring with them one item to be examined. This item can range from checking if a tape is blank to asking if a film reel is too shrunken and curled to be transferred. Such material will be inspected by experts from the various George Blood LP departments.
To register for this free event, fill out the quick form here by Monday October 16, 2023.
