The AVCC Cataloging Toolkit is a set of guidelines and forms to help organizations catalog their audio, video, and film collections quickly and efficiently with the goal of creating a minimal dataset that will help uncover hidden collections and assist in preservation planning. The AVCC forms are currently in Google Docs and include forms with controlled fields for capturing data which feeds into a series of reports that quantify the collection for analysis and prioritization. Use the form below to request a copy of the Google Docs.

The forms are currently in Beta mode, and we will appreciate your feedback on use. In early 2014 we plan to develop the toolkit as a more robust web-based form and reporting system. If you have any questions, bug reports, or need technical help, please use the form below to contact Joshua Ranger at AVPreserve.
