Featured Projects
Recent work includes international collaborations and preservation initiatives that bridge technical practice with cultural exchange. Below are selected projects highlighting efforts to conserve endangered sound recordings, build local preservation capacity, and advance access to recorded heritage.
Saving Music Heritage of Taiwan
In partnership with National Taiwan Normal University, I led a two-week Fulbright Specialist workshop training archivists and ethnomusicologists in the conservation and digitization of endangered recordings. The project helped establish sustainable preservation workflows and strengthened audiovisual preservation capacity across Taiwan.
Conservation of Endangered Georgian Traditional Music
Through a U.S. Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation project with the Tbilisi State Conservatoire, I helped build a media conservation lab and trained staff to preserve hundreds of hours of rare Georgian polyphonic recordings. The initiative secured irreplaceable documentation of one of the world’s most celebrated vocal traditions.
Preservation and Digitization Projects
At large government-based cultural heritage institutions, I oversee major initiatives to stabilize, clean, and digitize legacy recordings for long-term access. This includes magnetic tape rehousing, metadata workflows, and preservation digitization of historically significant collections from the mid-twentieth century.
