Processing History
Physical materials in the Redwood Canyon Ramblers collection were processed by Marcia K. Segal from 2013-2023. Library of Congress staff digitized the videocassettes in 2017.
Digital content from DVDs was ripped by AFC staff in 2013 and the carriers deaccessioned. Files from the DVDs and a separate file transfer were processed by Farrah Cundiff in 2024 into an archival information package (AIP): afc2011011_dc001. Derivatives created by the donor were retained. System files were removed. Some content which corresponded to physical source recordings in the Neil V. Rosenberg bluegrass music collection (AFC 2002/009), was separated to be processed in that collection. Otherwise, folder directories arranged by the donor were retained.

Alternate Formats
Many recordings in the Redwood Canyon Ramblers collection exist in both analog and digitized formats. Digitized versions were created by donor Brian Miksis as part of his "Redwood Canyon Ramblers Archive" digital project. Miksis edited them to enhance quality, and he created derivatives: Video files are available in Final Cut Pro output (mov) and DVD disk image (img) versions. Audio files are available in high-resolution (aif or wav), medium-resolution CD pre-tagged (aif), and low-resolution mp3 pre-tagged (mp3) versions. Analog, high-resolution digital audio, and FCP digital video are listed in detail throughout Series 2: Event recordings and related materials. Medium and lower resolution digital audio, and DVD digital video, are listed in Additional digital surrogates of selected recordings in Series 2.
