This includes 70+ years of TV, radio, and digital products. I have raised funding from outside sources to support advancing archival technology used and shared, advance broad access to archival media materials, to train new archivists in the field, and to migrate and preserve for public access years of analog media materials.

SKILLS
ABOUT KAREN CARIANI
I am interested in making archives as accessible as possible. In particular, I am interested in the use of media for all levels of education from K-higher ed. Archives hold a wealth of material that could be used more effectively to enhance knowledge and foster learning. Today technology offers many chances for media archives to be available and to be used in education. In my position at WGBH and the American Archive of Public Broadcasting, I am pursuing opportunities for media to be actively used in educational endeavors through new technology, to use computational tools to help media archives become more discoverable, and the use of digital collections as data sets. I am particularly passionate about science education and the use of media to teach science and math. I am also an avid champion for public media and its commitment to informing and educating the American public.
