ʻUluʻulu<\/span>: The Henry Kuʻualoha<\/span> Giugni Moving Image Archive of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/a> at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>–West Oʻahu<\/span> is part of a nationwide effort to digitize and preserve historic publicly funded radio and television programs across America, including PBS<\/abbr> Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The project, American Archive of Public Broadcasting<\/a> (AAPB<\/abbr>), is a collaboration between the Library of Congress<\/a>, WGBH<\/abbr> in Boston<\/a> and participating organizations across the country who care for archival public media.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m so proud that the programs from PBS<\/abbr> Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> archived at ʻUluʻulu<\/span> will soon be available to watch online through the American Archive of Public Broadcasting website,” said Janel Quirante, ʻUluʻulu<\/span> head archivist. “The footage will be in good company with other public media icons like Julia Child and Mr. Rogers!”<\/p>\n

ʻUluʻulu<\/span>, Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>\u2019s official state archive for moving images, is coordinating the digitization and description of 2,000 films and videotapes from the PBS<\/abbr> Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> collection. The entire digitization project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

The digitized programs will be made publicly available through ʻUluʻulu<\/span>‘s online catalog and the AAPB<\/abbr> website. The digital preservation masters will be stored at ʻUluʻulu<\/span> and at the Library of Congress.<\/p>\n

“We are in the business of preserving analog media—ensuring that these films and videotapes are carefully maintained, digitized, and made accessible to the public,” said ʻUluʻulu<\/span> Collections Specialist and Producer Heather H. Giugni. “It is partnerships and opportunities like these that make our mission possible.”<\/p>\n

ʻUluʻulu<\/span> received the PBS<\/abbr> Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> collection in 2016, and the tapes are physically stored in a vault on campus. Over the years, ʻUluʻulu<\/span> has been able to digitize portions of this collection through various grant funding. The new project will enable the digitization of the remaining videotapes, with the help of WGBH<\/abbr> and a preservation laboratory in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
