Digital Conversion of Cable Arts Consortium Video Collection 1983-1991
Minnesota Media Arts converted analog videotapes to digital media for approximately 60 programs compiled and collected by the Cable Arts Consortium between 1993 and 1991.
The grant project resulted in the creation of digitized video and audio files from more than a decade of Cable Arts Consortium programming and collecting of arts and culture video programs. These programs were assembled from Minnesota arts and cultural organizations, artists and film & video makers, and are now preserved for historical, educational, and research purposes. The digitized files will be available through the MNMA archive, controlled access to online videos available for researchers, and a finding aid on their website. The finding aid, and its additional content descriptive metadata will be searchable by our potential audience of scholars, students, architects, preservationists, and other interested parties. Because of the digital conversion, this valuable arts and cultural resource will be preserved and available for long-term use.
