Film and Image Services began the project to preserve our endangered videotapes several years ago. This project is currently on hold due to lack of staff.
CalArts Institute Archives Moving Image Collection
Slated first for preservation were the videotapes within the CalArts Institute Archives Moving Image Collection that includes CalArts events, visiting artist and filmmaker lectures, and other institutional history. Digital Bedrock manages the long term digital preservation of these files.
Access DVDs were created and may be viewed in-house by students and other researchers, or checked out by faculty and staff. Streaming files are not available currently.
To find the Archives DVDs, use the Library Catalog.
