Timeline of Projects Addressing the Loss of Technical AV Knowledge

This timeline is part of Brianna Toth's graduate research as a UCLA MLIS Media Archival Studies '19 candidate.

Technical jobs that once supported audiovisual production are now essential for the preservation of obsolete analog media as cultural heritage. The fundamental skills associated with those technologies are now as much at risk as physical carriers. This timeline attempts to trace the past and present efforts that addressed the loss of legacy skills and knowledge obsolescence specific to the preservation of analog video. Special thanks to the following people who helped make this project possible: Diana Ascher, Snowden Becker, Mike Casey, Yasmin Dessem, Adam Foster, Siobhan Hagan, Genevieve Havemeyer-King, Kelly Haydon, Mona Jimenez, Sam Lane, Jeffrey Martin, Morgan Morel, Jared Nistler, Sarah Nguyen, Jen O’Leary, Peter Oleksik, Ellen Pearlstein, Maurice Schechter, Teague Schneiter, Linda Tadic, Ben Turkus, Andy Uhrich, Phil Vigeant, Rhonda Vigeant, Glenn Wharton, Casey Winkleman and the AMIA CEA Task Force.
