They will discuss the formats encountered and digitized, including U-Matic video, 1/4″ open-reel audio, bound oral history transcripts, and a multimedia film strip. They will discuss the work completed, challenges encountered and overcome, in working with these audiovisual records from the 20th century documenting the LGBTQ community.
