I’m curious to know if any PEG access centers have worked with their town’s historical centers (or other local organizations) to archive their cable access content? The conversation about digital libraries in the future and metadata (particularly with regards to local community media content) is fascinating and important.

The IS2K7 conference sponsored by the Berkman Center at Harvard (where I work) will be exploring a number of these issues as it relates to University. But, I wonder how this conversation might relate to local public libraries and archival efforts of local stories in community media?

The archiving page on the wiki might be a good place to explore this further.
