Abstract

Sound Directions: Best Practices for Audio Preservation is the report from a joint Indiana University (IU)/Harvard University (HU) technical archiving project to define and test best practices in this space. Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities with additional funding from IU and HU, Sound Directions spanned three grant projects from 2005-2011. The best practices report was issued in 2007, became one of the standard works in the field, and was used extensively in the US with significant international use as well. Expertise and experience gained from Sound Directions fed directly into IU's Media Digitization and Preservation project that ran from 2015-2021.
