Knowledge database and report on tape condition |
| Description |
There are approximately 1 million U-Matic tapes on archive shelves across Europe, the majority of which are over 20 years old. Between 20% and 80% are likely to be difficult and expensive to transfer. Despite the magnitude of this problem, comparatively little information is currently available to archives on exactly what problems to expect when planning or executing U-Matic tape transfer projects. This report provides a set of guidelines for U-Matic tape transfer accompanied by quantitative tables that reveal what tape playability problems to expect. |

Service Level Agreements for Storage (D13.5) |
| Description |
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for data storage. Data storage is a very particular area of IT services that has seen rapid growth over the last 5 years. The technology has grown mature enough to be able to provide a specialised service for small to large organisations that are willing to outsource such capacity to a third party. At the end of the report a number of recommendations for the process of formulation of SLA have been made. |

Contactless playback tool for audio disks |
| Description |
A working prototype for optical playback of audio records was developed by INA. The process has been patented. This prototype is innovative with respect to the already known optical recovery methods, in that it does not require costly photographic processes, or high-end imaging solutions. A very simple lighting apparatus is the key to the process, and allows the use of conventional imagery tools. An industrial version is under development by the new partner Indeep. |

The Case for Investment in Digital Archives |
| Description |
This paper is a resource for those who are making a policy case for digital archives, for digitisation programmes or for projects designed to exploit the corresponding digital content. It sets out, in a schematic way, arguments that have been rehearsed in recent years to support the case for more investment in these areas, covering the nature of the case to be made, the concepts of market failure, contingent valuation, public value and the internal business case. Summaries are given of the main policy developments in the area at an EU level and of some prominent case studies. A core theme throughout the
paper is the need to articulate a more specific (and preferably quantitative) justification for investment in Digital Archives. |

Report on video and audio tape deterioration mechanisms (D6.1) |
| Description |
Known or suspected deterioration mechanisms are presented in this report with their relations to deterioration symptoms as experienced while playing back some archival magnetic tapes. Related condition assessment methods are described. The on-site transfer of these methods are evaluated. A proposal for a “condition assessment method” based on knowledge database and knowledge management system is proposed in a second part. |
