Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures

PARADISEC (the Pacific And Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures) offers a facility for digital conservation and access to endangered materials from all over the world. Our research group has developed models to ensure that the archive can provide access to interested communities, and conforms with emerging international standards for digital archiving. We have established a framework for accessioning, cataloguing and digitising audio, text and visual material, and preserving digital copies. The primary focus of this initial stage is safe preservation of material that would otherwise be lost, especially field tapes from the 1950s and 1960s.

PARADISEC（太平洋及区域数字源濒危文化档案）提供了一项数字保护与濒危材料访问的设施，这些材料来自世界各地。我们的研究团队已开发出模型，以确保该档案能够为感兴趣的社群提供访问，并符合数字存档领域新兴的国际标准。我们建立了一套接收、编目和数字化音频、文本及视觉材料，并保存数字副本的框架。在初始阶段，我们的主要焦点是确保那些否则将遗失的材料的妥善保存，尤其是20世纪50年代和60年代的现场录音带。
