ABOUT
Sunset Media Preservation is a family run media preservation company. We are here to provide you with customized preservation services for your small to mid-sized audiovisual collection. Preservation of AV collections can be a daunting prospect, and we want to give you all the support you need to begin or continue the preservation of your unique collection. We provide advice, collection assessments, transfer services and referrals, and guidance on analog and digital asset preservation.
We work to current archival best practices, remaining informed on the constantly evolving standards within the archival field. We strive to provide the highest quality preservation services for our clients, but also understand that preservation of audiovisual collections can be a financial burden. We work with each client to provide you with professional and personal service within your budget.
We strongly believe in the importance of maintaining and providing access to media collections, be they public or private. We believe in an egalitarian approach to preservation access. Your collection has worth beyond the monetary. Your collection matters to us because it matters to you.
We aim to provide a holistic approach to audiovisual collection preservation. This is no easy task, but we want to help you through it - it can be done!
