General Call for Papers

IASA Journal invites proposals covering general topics of interest to the sound and audiovisual archives communities throughout the world. Articles, reviews, essays, and technical documents are welcome.

Issue no. 44 special considerations:

We encourage submissions that respond to critical issues for audiovisual archives today:

• Degradation in legacy physical collections, especially magnetic carriers
• Obsolescence of playback equipment and the difficulty of acquiring spare parts for playback machines
• Selecting sustainable and compatible target codecs and wrappers for A-to-D video reformatting projects
• The proliferation of born-digital audiovisual formats and codecs
• Planning for the necessary technical infrastructure needed to ingest and manage the large digital collections being created and acquired at sound and audiovisual archives worldwide
• Intellectual property rights
• Providing meaningful and useful access to sound and audiovisual collections for researchers of all kinds and in all locations

Please consider submitting an article covering one of these topics or the results of independent research that would be of interest to the IASA membership.

Abstracts (maximum 250 words each) may be in French, German, Spanish, or English. Images can be sent as digital images in GIF, JPEG, PDF, PNG,
or TIFF formats.

Please send expressions of interest no later than November 15, 2014, via email to the editor: editor@iasa-web.org.
