"Pacific Echoes"

A new regional project is working to protect thousands of rare #recordings that capture #PacificLife, culture and history before they are lost forever.

The project, called Pacific Echoes, includes #audio and #films dating back nearly 80 years. Many of the recordings are stored on ageing formats such as eight-millimetre film, 16-mm reels, VHS tapes, and MiniDV, which are slowly breaking down.
