All of us at the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center are teleworking during the COVID-19 pandemic, but we’re still getting a lot done. Copyright and gift collections are being processed and catalog records created or enhanced. We’re writing quality control reports and documenting Standard Operating Procedures. We’re doing research for film restoration projects and creating new finding aids. We’re learning new skills by taking online training courses and reading professional journals and standards documents. We’re contributing to transcription efforts like the Library’s By the People and the American Archive of Public Broadcasting. We’re getting to projects that have been sitting on the backburner for a long time. And while we certainly miss the camaraderie we share with our co-workers, we’re grateful for our animal companions who are making the social distancing just a little more bearable. We hope everyone out there stays safe.
