Preserving Digital Public Television (PDPTV) is a collaboration between Thirteen/WNET, WGBH, PBS, and New York University. Part of the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) of the Library of Congress, the project has led the effort to preserve the nation’s born-digital public television heritage since 2005. The goals of the PDPTV project have been to:

• Design and develop a preservation repository for born-digital public television content

• Research and develop a set of standards for metadata, file and encoding formats, and production workflow practices

• Recommend selection criteria for long-term retention

• Investigate intellectual property issues that affect preservation and access of public media • Examine issues of long-term content accessibility and recommend methods for sustaining digital preservation of public television materials

This presentation will report on some of the key findings and outcomes in the above areas. Presenters will discuss the design of the prototype repository and how the specific needs of this project have intersected with NYU’s existing preservation repository infrastructure and processes. They will describe how metadata standards, including PBCore, METS, and PREMIS, have been used together to create an Archival Information Package for public broadcasting—the first of its kind. They will discuss the results of research into copyright issues and how these can best be managed. Finally, they will address the need for changes in production and distribution workflows in order to for the public broadcasting system to support sustainable preservation of it valuable content.
