Master Files in Long-Term Preservation

Audiovisual materials posted to our Digital Collection site are .mp4 access copies of the videos. Most of our master copies for audiovisual materials are not held locally and are stored in our long-term preservation storage through Chronopolis. 

Retrieving master copies from our long-term preservation storage may incur additional fees and longer delivery times. If you are interested in getting a master copy of audiovisual materials available online, please contact us.
