CDP Forum — 70 years of the BBC: Managing Accessibility into the Future
Come hear how the BBC manages their petabytes of digital audio and video from Dr. Richard Wright, manager, Future Media and Technology. On Monday, November 17, 1-3 p.m., BCR's CDP will be hosting Wright for an afternoon session where he will share the BBC's experience in converting content and determining how to preserve more than 70 years of BBC recordings.
Wright will answer questions after his presentation, with a reception to follow.
Originally from Wisconsin, Dr. Wright has lived in the United Kingdom since the 1970s, working with BBC and other European institutions in developing standards and best practices for assuring long-term accessibility to the BBC's vast resources. Wright also is the project manager for BBC for PrestoSpace, Birth of Television and Spoken Word. He is the author of PrestoSpace Preservation Guide, among many other publications.
