Indiana University Media Digitization and Preservation Initiative

"IU launched the Media Digitization and Preservation Initiative (MDPI) in 2015, beginning a six-year journey to complete the ambitious challenge of digitally preserving significant audio, video, and film assets and making them available to scholars all over the world. It became the largest university-led media preservation project in the United States and one of the largest in the world. By all accounts, the initiative concluded as a success with more than 350,000 items digitized and stored for posterity."
