Media Through the Ages: A Petting Zoo

Media Through the Ages: A Petting Zoo In-Person

Audiovisual formats have changed rapidly over the last two centuries. Due to this, preserving them for future audiences is challenging. Often we feel like we cannot touch or handle the object for fear of damaging it forever. Ever wonder what Edison’s wax cylinder would feel like in your hand? What would it sound like to hear the audio on that cylinder? Want to see how we splice films for digitization? The MSU Libraries’ Media Preservation team is offering the chance to learn about different audiovisual formats, how to care for them, and even hear/see footage from our collections.
