Your History: Audio, Video, and Digital

If you are like many Wisconsinites, your family history has gradually moved from analog (photographs, letters, keepsakes) to electronic (audio, film, and video) to digital (websites, social-media accounts, files in the cloud). Learn how to ensure your family’s A/V and digital history doesn’t disappear in a pile of tape dust or a cloud of pixels!

Dorothea Salo teaches about digital information in the iSchool at UW-Madison: everything from online privacy and security to relational-database design. She has also built “Recover Analog and Digital Data” (RADD) to save personal, family, and community history in Wisconsin from decaying 20th-century media such as VHStapes and floppy disks. Her professional interests include copyright, scholarly communication, and digital preservation.

Program is sponsored by BadgerTalks through the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
