Abstract: Workflow development is a critical aspect of successful project management. While time-consuming and documentation-heavy, project management is the key to the successful implementation of complex projects. This paper discusses workflow development at the Motion Picture Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress, with a specific focus on moving image content. Sharing the evolution of digital processing and workflow development for moving image content, this paper discusses the efforts of the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB) and the establishment of positions dedicated to the processing of born-digital moving image content. The evolution of processes from early large-scale projects of the AAPB to the development of a fully automated workflow for the US Senate Floor Recordings are described with concepts applicable to organisations of any size and available resources.
