Precious Jewels Preserved by digitization

The User and Document Services Group of the IT Department (IT-UDS) has been digging through the archives and found some buried treasure. For 30 years all conferences and seminars taking place in CERN main auditorium, the largest lecture hall in Geneva for many years, were taped using analog format for audio recording. The IT-UDS Audio, Visual and Conferencing Services are currently digitising these jewels and making them available on the Internet. >>
