Quality Control (QC) is an essential aspect of audiovisual preservation, ensuring that digitised and born-digital content remains authentic, reliable, and accessible. This webinar brings together practitioners from across the sector to break down what QC really means in practice — from technical checks to workflow design and common pitfalls.

Key topics include:

• Understanding QC in AV preservation environments

• Practical tools, techniques, and real-world workflows

• Issues commonly encountered during digitisation

• Strategies for maintaining consistency and reliability

• Insights from experienced professionals working across archives and cultural institutions

The session is ideal for anyone working with sound or moving-image collections, including archivists, conservators, digitisation technicians, digital preservation specialists, and students.
