Michael Angeletti
Moving Image Digitization Specialist, Library Technology
Current Role at StanfordI work to reformat and preserve historically important moving image recordings held by the Stanford University Libraries. Our facility is located in Redwood City, California, in the building where the AMPEX corporation did much of its early work on audiotape and videotape recording systems. Aside from the work of reformatting magnetic media, our workgroup at SMPL contributes to the more broad efforts of the AV preservation community through collaboration on special projects and consultation with other archives, universities and research institutions.

Hannah Frost
Associate Director, Digital Library Services, Library Technology
Current Role at StanfordI lead the team responsible for specifying, managing, and delivering digital library services, including digitization, project management, born-digital archiving, and repository-based preservation and publishing services. We do this work for the benefit of scholars, and we are in it for the long haul.
As Service Manager for the Stanford Digital Repository, I work with a large cross section of the Stanford community — researchers, faculty, students, administrators, in addition to library curators, data curators, archivists, subject specialists, and fellow library service providers — and our partners in the broader research library and cultural heritage communities. My work is both social and technical. I really enjoy collaborating with others to find solutions to the challenges that people and organizations face in managing, publishing, preserving, and working with digital content. -

Librarian 4, Library Technology
Current Role at StanfordService Manager, Born-Digital Preservation Lab
Digital Library Systems and Services,
Liaison to Department of Special Collections, Hopkins Marine Station, East Asia Library
In my role as service manager I work with librarians, faculty, donors, and archivists to develop policies, workflows and procedures to acquire, preserve, and make born digital content available for researchers. This includes managing a budget to acquire lab technologies for our digital archivists and working with my Stanford colleagues to develop a catalog of services to support library acquisitions (see https://library.stanford.edu/research/digitization-services/labs/born-digital-forensics-lab). Current projects that are in process include implementation of the BitCurator Bulk Extractor in our production workflows, defining our security policies and audit processes for acquired content and automating the process for depositing our preserved software into the Stanford Digital Repository. -
Astrid Smith
Digital Imaging Production Specialist, Library Technology
Current Role at StanfordMy name is Astrid Smith and I am the Rare Book and Special Collections Digitization Specialist with Stanford University Libraries’ Digital Production Group (DPG). I create high quality images of such things as the rare “gems of the collection” books, and various materials from our library’s archives. In this role, I manage a steady flow of digitization requests from faculty, staff, and other branch libraries, as part of our mission to support teaching and scholarly research. In addition to one-off requests and small projects, I also image a certain percentage of materials from larger projects, typically the fragile outliers that require specialized handling and custom setup, which I scope out while helping with project estimates. I also help to produce the images needed for exhibits, such as the “Monuments of Printing Exhibits,” including examples from Gutenberg through the book arts revival, and "Scripting the Sacred," featuring secular and sacred medieval texts. Coming from a fine art background with an emphasis in bookarts, painting and drawing, and printmaking, I am thrilled to work with such a beautiful and culturally significant selection of materials on a daily basis.
Part of our departmental agenda is to make Special Collections and other Stanford University branch library materials accessible online for use by the greater community, with digitization projects of all sizes. We strive to balance curator needs and wants with our departmental capacity and resources, and continually work to refine our process. It is important to us that the physical aesthetics of the object are honored as much as possible, while keeping in mind various project purposes -- for example, images that are needed for object character recognition of the text versus those intended for exhibition enlargements, meant to showcase special items. We work closely with curators, conservators, library staff and stakeholders in an effort to successfully meet all these needs. -
