About

Over the past four years the Library has been collaborating with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the development of new imaging methods to preserve and create digital access to recorded sound, on mechanical carriers. Imaging methods are non-invasive and scale naturally to an automated approach. For these reasons they hold promise both as preservation tools and as a basis for mass digitization. In 2006 a first prototype optical scanner for disc records was built and installed at the Library where it is under evaluation. This device, known as IRENE, and its performance, will be described in this talk.
