American Archive 1.0 Initiative Manager
The United States public broadcasting system has been the primary source of trusted programming for generations of Americans. From groundbreaking science and public affairs to wholesome educational programming, public broadcasting has amassed a wealth of content that remains significant long after broadcast. However, our system currently lacks the infrastructure to archive this content for future generations. American Archive 1.0 will serve the American public by preserving, exhibiting, and sharing the enduring programming produced and distributed by the public broadcasting system. The Archive will make use of emerging technologies to allow access to this content by educational and cultural institutions, public broadcasting stations, and the general public. The intent of the RFP is to identify and select an experienced consultant that will act as the initiative manager ("Initiative Manager"). Responses to this RFP are due on September 7, 2007 so that this project can get underway in a timely manner.
