As a result, SMPL has been accumulating an accessioning backlog. Since 2009, we have preserved over 26,000 hours of content from physical media: 20,000+ audio items 6,000+ video items 156 films and thousands of born-digital media items.ĭuring the same time the SMPL team was busy digitizing, the Stanford Digital Repository was under active, steady development, but for much of this time, the SDR’s content accessioning capabilities and processes were not yet geared towards media content, and the preservation storage systems had limited capacity. To give you a sense for the volume: one hour of analog video captured digitally for preservation (10-bit uncompressed) is 100 GB, and one hour of analog audio is 4 GB (24-bit, 96 kHz uncompressed). The Stanford Media Preservation Lab (SMPL) - the arm of DLSS Digitization Services focused on archival reformatting of SUL’s sound and moving image collections - has been digitizing AV media materials for over a decade, and in the course of this work, a great number of large digital files have been generated.

This summer, SMPL expects to complete working through the backlog of digital audio and video files accumulated over the past decade.

TL DR: The Stanford Media Preservation Lab (SMPL) and the Stanford Digital Repository (SDR) have together reached a major milestone with over half a petabyte of preserved AV media content accessioned in the repository.
