Methodology
Factor Analysis: Quantitative technique, which finds structure and meaning in a large data set through latent variables and associations between them.
Expected Outcomes
The TATE online digital archive of audio and audio-visual material is an excellent opportunity to explore users' and
non-users’ attitudes towards digital audio heritage. Such a study should give insights into the workings and efforts of TATE to provide online, free, cultural material through its website and consequently, will create a methodology of
value assessment in sound archives.
Research Questions
Who uses the archive?
How do they use the
archive?
What is their attitude towards
digital preservation?
TATE's Archive
The collection comprises paper records – including correspondence, research
files and accounts – rare exhibition catalogues, private view cards,
photographs, production equipment and of course the published and original
audio recordings in a variety of formats including reel to reel tapes (5, 7 and
10 inch), cassettes, DAT tapes, CDs and MPEGs. This material includes
also interviews, conversations, performance, music, soundwork, readings,
talks and lectures from 1973 to 2006, and has been digitized and available
online since 2013.
