Media Preservation
- (2021) “MD Project” – a media digital preservation project. This is a testing project based on the existing coding scripts established by linux-minidisc and NetMDPython to extract digital contents stored in MiniDiscs and transfer them to local computer. The project intends to provide practical and open-source based follow-along instructions for audiovisual archivists in their daily works where MiniDisc collections are involved. The documentation of the project and workflow (in progress) could be accessed via https://github.com/jyw321/MD-Project.git
