Abstract
The technical working group met to discuss the various aspects of capturing and preserving television news. The conversations circled mostly around methods of producing computational metadata and gaps. They also discussed ways to improve textual indexing of collections. This working group was the smallest of the three groups with 5 to 6 members, including participants mostly from university libraries. Four of the participants had active television news archives and two had finite audiovisual collections that related to the conversation.
