CSHL Archives A/V Media

A/V media from various CSHL Archives collections, which were identified as being at risk due to the non-permanent nature of magnetic tapes and film. This media has been digitized to ensure their long term preservation and accessability.

Raw footage caution

Unedited materials may contain retakes, B-rolls, test patterns, extended periods of silence, duplicated videos taken from different camera angles and materials intended to be edited out in final product.

Support from CLIR RaR
