As part of the Presto4U project, PrestoCentre has established a series of nine Communities of Practice in the principal sub-sectors of audiovisual media preservation, bringing together groups of peers in the archival world who share interests and problems specific to the nature of the audiovisual objects they keep. The nine communities represent most of the domains concerned with audiovisual documents. All communities have local specific problems that will be addressed by PrestoCentre.
