Based at the CUNY Graduate
Center, CUNY TV is the largest public university television station in the
U.S., producing and broadcasting programming on public affairs, education,
science, business, and independent media. The archive at CUNY TV manages the near
three-decade production history of the station, a broadcast library, the Himan
Brown Radio Archive, and audiovisual collections produced within the City
University of New York. CUNY TV's collections cover a variety of analog and
digital audiovisual formats, including 1/4" reel audio, analog and digital
video tape, and archival and broadcast digital formats.
Interns participate in cataloging, collection management, and preservation
activities within CUNY TV's collections. Current archival projects include
collection inventory and assessment (including processing and re-housing
collections), digitization of legacy formats for preservation, archival
workflow documentation, cataloging with item-level and finding-aid description
(using PBCore).
This internship would be appropriate for students pursuing the archives and
preservation certificate and for those who are interested in digital
preservation. Preferably candidates should have experience with
time-based media cataloging, audiovisual media handling, digitization
projects, and knowledge of metadata schemas (PBCore, Dublin Core). This
internship is for credit only.
