UWM Archives: Preserving the Past

As the processing digital archivist in the Archives Department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Shiraz Bhathena gives viewers an inside look at the preservation of the WTMJ-TV collection of news stories broadcast from 1950 to 1980. The preservation of this collection isn’t only one of physical media, but also a preservation of all aspects of Milwaukee history from the civil rights movement to Summerfest.
