Media Conversion and Preservation
Legacy Media Conversion and Transcription
Accessing the analog past is one of the great challenges facing humanities scholars in the digital 21st century. It is a past that often requires arcane, specialized, complex technology just be seen and heard. Before MP3s, QuickTime MOV, and the ubiquitous JPG, there were records, audiotapes, videotapes, negatives, slides and prints.
Humanist Media specializes in recovering the media legacy of the analog past, and delivering it to 21st century scholars in digital form for their research, public history, and online publishing projects. Contact us today to learn how we can help you bring the analog past to life.
