Paul Eisloeffel

Over the course of his career Paul has worked with a variety of archival materials and, for the past several years has specialized in audiovisuals, especially moving images.

As audiovisual archivist for the Nebraska State Historical Society, he helped build that institution’s collections into a regional treasure – parts of which are frequently featured in public programs, exhibits and media productions. He established the Society’s audiovisual lab, where he works with original moving images and sound recordings that he transfers to digital formats. He is also a media archivist in private practice, conducting curatorial work on moving images for other archives, libraries, museums and organizations.

Paul holds a Masters degree in History and is active in the Association of Moving Image Archivists and the Midwest Archives Conference. He is a frequent presenter, writer, teacher and consultant on the management of audiovisuals of historic and cultural value, and has worked on several regional and national grant projects relating to moving images.
