Abstract
This article, published in the IASA Journal in 2015, explores the forces at work in the degradation of archival audio and video collections as well as the obsolescence of their formats. This includes the increasing scarcity of both playback machines and spare parts as well as the human expertise needed to use them. The combination of the two results in a limited window of opportunity in which to digitize archival audio and video for long-term preservation. The article outlines Indiana University's response to this crisis and highlights progress at other academic institutions.
