Participants at the edit-a-thon

The Fresh Air archives project team, in collaboration with partners at Drexel University and TelVue Corporation, has created a metadata application profile based on PBCore 2.0 schema and designed an asset management system that will store the entire Fresh Air collection in a single location with a logical structure. We are currently exporting the database records to Worldcat for public access, with direct links to the audio files.

The Fresh Air CLIR project lays the groundwork for creating new tools and opportunities for the public to explore and interact with the entirety of the Fresh Air archives. We not only envision our audience listening to the end results, but actively helping us enhance the way the archive can be discovered and shared with new audiences. Enhancing the archive through metadata ensures it will be preserved, accessible, and listened to for decades to come.
