Elements of the Remastering Process Preservation

BAVC operates a remastering center where a tape transfer consists of three processes: preparation, transfer, and documentation. Preparation covers work on the original tape after receipt and before playback and has used a tape cleaning machine with little change over seven years; transfer copies the electronic signals from the original tape to a new tape. Documentation records the preparation and transfer steps and has evolved from an undocumented initial group of transfers as BAVC increased contact with conservators and archivists.
