Archival collections can take many forms, from catalogs of master audio recordings, films, or video; to physical memorabilia such as signage, posters, photographs, props, sets, or models; to corporate historical records in fragile formats such as glass transcription discs, maps, blueprints, or product designs. Many of these archival assets, especially media, are stored on formats that are at immediate risk of loss due to time-based degradation or equipment or software obsolescence. Iron Mountain’s Media and Archival Services division is the leading global provider of complete end-to-end solutions for the protection, preservation, relocation and even monetization of archival collections. In this session you’ll learn which media formats are most at risk, and your best next steps for future-proofing fragile archival assets.
