This presentation offers an update on the IRENE optical-scanning technology for digitizing historical grooved audio formats such as lacquer discs and wax cylinders. Audience members will learn about preservation challenges for these formats, and new methods for recovering audio from them. Presenters will discuss the role of experimentation and collaboration in standards-driven preservation work, increased accessibility to audio of underrepresented communities, the pros/cons to optical-scanning, and where future development should be aimed.
