The Management of Audio and Video Collections

Baltic Audiovisual Archival Council (BAAC), Lithuanian Central State Archive and Lithuanian Archivists’ Association are organizing the international workshop “The Management of Audio and Video Collections” in Vilnius 4-5 September, 2017 that will be hosted by Lithuanian Central State Archive.

Today audiovisual documents amount to a large part of world memory and are found in many different memory institutions (libraries, museums, archives). A lot of those institutions by their nature are not directly related to the preservation and management of audiovisual heritage. So they often face various problems and a lack of experience, while trying to preserve audiovisual heritage in their collections as well as giving access to it.

The workshop will be led by well known expert Howard Besser, who is professor of film studies at New York University (NYU).
