digitisation

The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision organises the annual Winter School for Audiovisual Archiving, a training that gives participants the practical knowledge to design and implement a preservation plan for their audiovisual collections.

This year's Winter School will take place from January 14 - 18, 2019.  The Winter School is about providing practical knowledge: we start with the basics of digital preservation for audiovisual materials and finish with mapping participants' own insights and policy on conserving them.

MediaArea and the British Film Institute are pleased to announce the third No Time to Wait conference, hosted by the British Film Institute, who are about to begin a 5 year digitisation of obsolete videotape formats, preserving to open formats.

Those working with audiovisual archiving, digital preservation, open media, and open standards as well as curious onlookers are welcome to attend, discuss, and present on subjects pertaining to our theme: the intersection of open media, standardization, and audiovisual preservation.
