PrestoSpace Report on video and audio tape deterioration mechanisms
Authors: Benoît Thiebaut, Léon-Bavi Vilmont and Bertrand Lavedrine (2006)
This report is deliverable D6.1 of the 'WP06 Preservation WA' of the PrestoSpace project. Known or suspected deterioration mechanisms are presented with their relations to deterioration symptoms as experienced while playing back some archival magnetic tapes. Related condition assessment methods are described. The on-site transfer of these methods are evaluated. A proposal for a “condition assessment method” based on knowledge database and knowledge management system is proposed in a second part.
