Digital Audio Tape (DAT)

Digital Audio Tape (DAT) was introduced in 1987 but proved to be a very expensive option, recording in digital rather than analogue, and was somewhat less popular than other recording formats. Nevertheless this material is still occasionally found in archive collections today. Over the years it has become increasingly difficult to access the content contained in Audio DAT but this is where TownsWeb Archiving’s specialist digitisation services can help. TWA use expert scanning technicians to capture and convert Audio DAT to digital. Tape formats have always been prone to deterioration, so converting this material is a prudent step towards protecting your material and safeguarding it from loss. It also primes it for online publishing and access, which can be achieved through our PastView platform.
