- Recently, our DH interns have learned the importance of digitising legacy media like VHS. Over time and with improper storage, VHS tapes steadily deteriorate with the magnetic tape losing quality. This leads to warping or mould, which renders it unplayable! #Digital #Humanities #Internships #DH
- Even if tapes remain in good condition, the equipment needed to view them is disappearing as VHS players are no longer commonly manufactured and working units grow rarer. By converting to digital files, we free recordings from depending on obsolete technology and prevent their contents being lostNov 27, 2025 11:56
- Once in a digital format, footage can be easily backed up, copied, edited, or restored. It becomes possible to correct colour issues, stabilize shaky video, or repair damaged audio #Digital #Humanities #DigitalHumanities #VHS #LegacyMedia #Digitisation #Interns #Internship #HASS #DigitalResearch
