American Archive of Public Broadcasting Media Wiki
The American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB) MediaWiki was created in 2017 through the AAPB National Digital Stewardship Residency Project (NDSR), funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The wiki constitutes the final project of the AAPB NDSR residents, whose residencies took place between May 2016 and June 2017. Here, the residents have highlighted their collaboration and shared their resources, workflows, and documents used for managing audiovisual assets in all their possible formats and environments.
