This project became both my introduction to audio archiving and the basis of my thesis as I've pursued a master's degree in archives and preservation. In order to address gaps in documentation regarding the history of Andrus Studios and explore the experimental approaches taken by its sound engineers and the studio's relationship to the Houston music scene, I conducted oral histories with sound engineers and musicians who frequented the studio during its operation. Complementing the interview recordings are visual materials provided by the interviewees which have been digitized to preservation standards, including photographs, letterheads, and catalog cards. I am currently in the process of assembling these materials in Scalar as a component of my thesis. Scalar is a rich media platform designed for academic digital long-form writing that incorporates media elements. Scalar supports the navigation of image, text, and audiovisual elements by linear and non-linear paths created through content, tagging capabilities, and nested content. As such, it provides multiple entry points for exploring interrelated materials while also allowing space for each interviewee's account to exist autonomously.
