Evaluation of Text Legibility in Alternative Imaging Approaches to Microfiche Digitization

Microfiche was a common format used in microforms reproductions of documents, extensively used for archival storage before the move to digital formats. While contemporary documents are still available for digitization, others from older historical periods are no longer physically accessible for various reasons. In some cases, their microfiche copies are available, making microfiche digitization a must. However, a microfiche reader is not always available and, even then, it is a machine made for the purpose of reading and not for data collection. In this work, the performance two imaging devices are evaluated as alternatives to the traditional microfiche reader, by means of optical character recognition (OCR). Results show that this alternative surpasses the performance of a microfiche reader in terms of text legibility.

Photographic storage Solutions In Collections Management : The Edward Burtynsky Archive

The paper, "The Edward Burtynsky Archive" is part of the thesis project submitted by Paul Sergeant in the partial fulfillment of the Master's Degree in Photographic Preservation and Collections Management at Ryerson University in Toronto, Ontario and George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, NY, in 2010. The author proposes the creation of a personal archive/repository of photographic prints for Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky. This guide will describe archival methods for the storage of 1000-1500 large format colour photographs ranging in size from 27" x 34" to 60" x 70". The goal of this project is to produce a resource for present and future researchers concerned with the preservation of colour photography. Through research on the preservation of colour photography and archival storage standards, I will locate a viable space, design a model for storage, source materials, and construct the archive/repository by September 1, 2010.

Method for automatic control of assigning details to completed electronic document

In this article, the subject of research is the sub-process of controlling the assignment of requisites to the electronic document of the process of registration and preparation of completed electronic documents for transfer to archival storage in the electronic document management system. The aim of the research is to develop a method for automatic control of the assignment of details to a completed electronic document. In the course of the study, the requirements of regulatory legal acts of federal executive bodies in the field of office work and archiving were analyzed, in terms of the registration of electronic files and their preparation for transfer to archival storage, scientific publications covering the issues of automation of office work in electronic office systems. A functional model was built for the process of control of registration and preparation for the delivery of electronic files for archival storage using the IDEF 0 methodology in a model for performing the sub-process of assigning details to a completed electronic document of the process of controlling registration and preparation for the delivery of electronic documents using the theory of logic (predicate logic). A method has been developed for automatic control of the assignment of requisites to a completed electronic case, which can be used in the design of advanced electronic document management systems, as well as modernization of existing ones by creating software modules that implement the functions of automatic control of the registration of completed electronic cases. This method makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the process of preparing completed electronic files for transfer to archival storage.

MUSIC RADIO RECORDINGS AS OBJECTS OF THE ARCHIVAL STORAGE

The purpose of the article is to characterize the peculiarities of organizing the storage of musical audio recordings in the repositories of radio stations. The methodology is based on the use of general scientific and special methods. The universal nature of music as a special language determines the internationality of music art. From the moment of birth and during the past years verbal report of the unwritten conditions, that are connected to music sound record accumulation in different cultural institutions, has changed not once. The transformations of this relationship were caused by different reasons – social, political, technical, and technological nature. In current high-technology conditions integration properties inherent in the holistic process of creation, circulation, and spread of information, accumulated in music compositions for radio. Today the formation of the new qualitative communication area with the rapid growth of the sound messages streams level occurs. The article is dedicated to the scientific problem of the preservation and use of music audio recordings of radio companies as objects of archival storage. Archived musical radio records are defined as a special cluster of the communication area. The socio-communicative approach is the methodological basis of the publication. The scientific novelty. The main directions of ensuring the preservation, restoration, and restoration of music audio recordings of archival audio recordings are substantiated, as well as the peculiarities of digitization and use of sound documents of this type, are revealed. The specifics of the formation of the respective collections are considered on the example of the BBC Archive Center and The British Library Sound Archive as leading foreign institutions where music records are stored. It is concluded that digital technologies have led to a change in the culture of music consumption and, accordingly, have transformed the processes of storing music archival recordings in the repositories of radio companies, which have acquired specific properties. Examining music radio recordings as archival objects have shown that in the age of the digital revolution, the music industry around the world has undergone significant changes. Both the revenue structure and the cost structure of record labels and music radio companies have fundamentally changed. Conclusions. Digital technologies have led to a change in the culture of music consumption (there has been a change in the ideology of authorship for music products) and the emergence of digital recording technologies that use artificial intelligence, digital workstations, etc. In this regard, the specifics of the organization of storage of music archival recordings were transformed, in particular in the phono repositories of radio companies that have acquired specific properties of the service grade (reprint of archival music recordings that were previously specially recorded for radio stations).

Sound recordings from radio archives: the restoration of music in digits

A holistic historical and informational analysis was conducted in the scientific context of the synergy of two systems – sound recording and radio broadcasting.

Taking into account the experience of «BBC Radio 1» in creating a unique collection of sound recordings and areas of use of music collections as objects of archival storage, the features of recording music sessions in recording studios of radio stations are revealed. The main methods of restoration, restoration and digitization of stock music phonograms of radio broadcasting subjects are revealed. Find out which software products perform digitization tasks. The author concludes that the basis for the protection and storage of music collections of radio archives is the organization of a system of backup and duplication of data.
