ePoster: MIC (Moving Image Collections)

Overview of Moving Image Collections (MIC), a collaboration of the Library of Congress and the Association of Moving Image Archivists. MIC offers union catalog, archive directory, and informational resources through a portal structure for delivery of customized information on archival moving images, their preservation, and the images themselves to multiple constituencies. Designed to address the film preservation crisis, MIC has evolved into a visionary R&D platform to serve audiences beyond archivists and explore the leading edge of non-textual indexing, digital rights management, and educational use, even as it supports collaborative education, access, preservation, digitization, and metadata initiatives.
