Associated Audio Archivists Message Board
The AAA Message Board is a moderated forum for professional discussion specific to the management and preservation of institutional recorded sound collections. The Board is sponsored by the Associated Audio Archivists Committee (AAA) of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) as a service to ARSC members and the archival community at large.
Communication on the Board is web-based, rather than facilitated via email, allowing users to link to or bookmark specific discussions and include images (photos, screenshots, etc) within their messages. Moreover, users unable to visit the Board web site with regularity may simply subscribe to individual topics using RSS feeds.
Included among the discussion topics are sections dedicated to:
- Accessing and Processing
- Cataloging and Documentation
- Access and Reference
- Copyright and Sound Recordings
- Grants and Funding
- Cleaning and Other Conservation Treatments
- Shelving, Housing and, Storage
- Preservation and Playback Technical Discussion
- Preservation Metadata Discussion
- Academic Programs
- Jobs and Internships
- Events and Other Announcements
