A project for cataloguing students or retirees
Hithere,
TheAmerican Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB), a collaborationbetween
the Library of Congress and WGBH, has launched Roll the Credits, a new
Zooniverse project to catalog unseen content in theironline archive.
TheAAPB is coordinating a national effort to preserve at-risk publicmedia
before its content is lost to posterity and provide a centralweb portal for
access to the unique programming that public stationshave aired over the
past 60 years. To date, over 50,000 hours oftelevision and radio
programming contributed by more than 100 publicmedia organizations and
archives across the United States have beendigitized for long-term
preservation and access. The entirecollection is available on location at
the Library of Congress andWGBH, and almost 25,000 programs are available
online
atamericanarchive.org. Asthe story goes, every picture tells a
story, but with Roll the Credits, we’ve extracted the beginning and ending
frames ofthousands of digitized public broadcasting programs that
containvital metadata needed for researchers’ search and discovery, suchas
titles, dates, credits, and copyright statements.Yourhelp in classifying
and transcribing this information is directlyadded to the AAPB catalogue,
making these programs not only moreaccessible to researchers, but also
helping the AAPB archivistsidentify gaps in their archive and develop plans
to make it morecomprehensive.Travelthe time-zones with us as AAPB releases
historic, local public mediaprogramming each week! Thanksfor supporting
AAPB’s mission in preserving and making accessiblehistoric content from
public broadcasting stations across the UnitedStates. Know someone who
