Presenter
Siobhan C. Hagan graduated from NYU’s Moving Image Archiving and Preservation program and began her career at the UCLA Library in 2011 as the first audiovisual preservation specialist. In 2014, Siobhan began working at the University of Baltimore as the audiovisual archivist in the Special Collections Department. Her passion is the preservation and access of regional audiovisual materials and collections, and the immediate reformatting of magnetic tape as the world nears a catastrophic loss of recordings stored on these ephemeral and obsolete formats.
