About this Community Media Preservation Project

Minnesota Media Arts and SPNN have partnered on a media preservation project. The Community Media Preservation Strategies & Archiving Workshops program is a statewide initiative to help community makers safeguard aging audiovisual recordings—through a baseline survey, practical webinars, and hands-on workshops that build sustainable archiving skills.

Media preservation is more than converting tapes to files — it’s a thoughtful process of care, organization, and access. Through these workshops, SPNN and Minnesota Media Arts empower communities to plan, stabilize, digitize, and share the voices that define Minnesota’s cultural legacy. Find out more about these workshops here.

This program is a partnership between Minnesota Media Arts (MNMA) and St. Paul Neighborhood Network (SPNN) and has been financed in part with funds provided by the State of Minnesota from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the Minnesota Historical Society.  Request a registration link to our free webinar (4/20/26, 2:30-4:00 PM CDT) and free in-person workshop (5/2/26, 8:30 AM-3:30 PM CDT). Pre-registration required for both events.
