In Depth Alaska: quietly safeguarding Alaska's visual history

The Alaska Moving Image Preservation Association (AMIPA) has been quietly safeguarding Alaska's visual history since 1988 — from early 20th century missionary film shot on King Island to footage of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline construction and the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Board member and veteran photojournalist Rob Stapleton joined In-Depth Alaska host Jennifer Summers to explain how the nonprofit, housed at the UAA/APU Consortium Library, collects, stores, and indexes film, video, and analog media donated by individuals, TV stations, and government agencies.
