National Museum Wales chose Media-Inspector


St Fagans: National History Museum is one of Europe's foremost open-air museums and Wales's most popular heritage attraction.The museum explores all aspects of how people in Wales have lived - from Celtic times to the present day. St Fagans’ sound archive supports the Welsh language as a vital part of the historic heritage of Wales. The museum has built up an archive of recorded oral testimony since the late 1950s. During the 1990s the National History Museum transferred most of their analog audio library to R-DAT and CD audio.

Now St Fagans wishes to migrate this material together with associated metadata to digital mass-storage. In a tender process Cube-Tec was chosen to deliver the required equipment, train the in-house staff and provide support and maintenance. The quality-controlled transfer will be performed with DAT-Inspector and CD-Inspector technology.
