Abstract

ABSTRACT Magnetic audiovisual (AV) media makes up a significant part of cultural heritage. It contains elements such as sounds, images, and other data for future access. Mould growth can impact magnetic media deterioration. Over time, mould impedes element retrieval and can even cause its total loss, resulting in the loss of our cultural heritage. Therefore, proper maintenance of magnetic media is required to ensure data retention. This paper presents the findings of an international online survey to better understand current knowledge surrounding mould-affected magnetic media. Information on magnetic media is limited, resulting in the question: what are the current experiences and practices surrounding mould on magnetic media in the cultural heritage sector? The aim of the project was to seek audiovisual conservators and film practitioners’ opinions about magnetic media (full coat magnetic film, magnetic audio, and video tapes), conservation processes, and their experience with mould. An on-line survey using Qualtrics software was employed. The survey indicated that mould is present in magnetic media collections regardless of substrate but may be limited to less than a quarter of magnetic media with various dual mechanical–chemical treatments used to combat mould growth. Mould continues to impact element retrieval and thus mould treatment is an important factor in deterioration prevention to ensure data retention.

磁性介质的霉菌:音像保护从业人员目前的保护做法是什么?

磁性音像媒介是文化遗产的重要组成部分。它包含声音、图像和其他供将来访问的数据等元素。霉菌的生长会影响磁性介质的变质。随着时间的推移，霉菌阻碍了元素的检索，甚至可能导致其完全丢失，导致我们的文化遗产的损失。因此，需要对磁性介质进行适当的维护，以确保数据的保留。本文介绍了一项国际在线调查的结果，以更好地了解当前围绕霉菌影响的磁性介质的知识。关于磁性介质的信息有限，这就产生了一个问题:目前在文化遗产领域，磁性介质模具的经验和做法是什么?该项目的目的是寻求视听修复人员和电影从业者对磁性介质(全涂层磁性薄膜、磁性音频和磁性录像带)、保存过程和他们对霉菌的经验的看法。采用Qualtrics软件进行在线调查。调查表明，无论基材如何，霉菌都存在于磁性介质中，但可能仅限于四分之一以下的磁性介质，使用各种双重机械-化学处理来对抗霉菌生长。模具继续影响元素的检索，因此模具处理是防止变质以确保数据保留的重要因素。

期刊介绍： Studies in Conservation is the premier international peer-reviewed journal for the conservation of historic and artistic works. The intended readership includes the conservation professional in the broadest sense of the term: practising conservators of all types of object, conservation, heritage and museum scientists, collection or conservation managers, teachers and students of conservation, and academic researchers in the subject areas of arts, archaeology, the built heritage, materials history, art technological research and material culture. Studies in Conservation publishes original work on a range of subjects including, but not limited to, examination methods for works of art, new research in the analysis of artistic materials, mechanisms of deterioration, advances in conservation practice, novel methods of treatment, conservation issues in display and storage, preventive conservation, issues of collection care, conservation history and ethics, and the history of materials and technological processes. Scientific content is not necessary, and the editors encourage the submission of practical articles, review papers, position papers on best practice and the philosophy and ethics of collecting and preservation, to help maintain the traditional balance of the journal. Whatever the subject matter, accounts of routine procedures are not accepted, except where these lead to results that are sufficiently novel and/or significant to be of general interest.
