The University of Baltimore’s Special Collections and Archives has completed Phase Two of a major preservation project to digitize the WMAR-TV Collection, supported by a Recordings at Risk grant from CLIR. The project resulted in the digitization of 955 U-matic and VHS tapes from 1984 through 1993—over 1,299 hours of historically significant local news footage—now freely accessible via the Internet Archive. Memnon partnered on the project to digitize the materials and create long-term preservation masters, access copies, and closed-captioned files, helping ensure the collection’s ongoing accessibility for research and education.
