Strategies for Multimedia Archives
Ghent (Belgium), February 6th 2009
Ghent (Belgium), February 6th 2009
Cultural, heritage and media institutions face a number of challenges when moving even a part of their collection and archival management into the digital age. by focusing on four specific questions that newly developing multimedia archives are faced with: how do you position yourself to the need for funding; how is context created and maintained in the multidisciplinary digital archive; what audience do you aim to reach and how do you reach them; and what distribution models can you use? The answers to these questions are manifold, and become increasingly complex in light of growing intersectoral cooperation.
The conference 'Strategies for Multimedia Archives' aims to contribute to the international discourse on the impact of 'going digital'. It brings together international speakers with experience in different fields, so as to further discussions and provide food for thought for organisations planning to take the step into digital. The different themes of the conference feature collectively in the morning plenary, after which four parallel sessions each focus on one of the four central issues at hand. Ample time is allotted in these sessions for questions and discussion with the audience.
This conference is organised as part of the research project 'Preservation and Access of Multimedia Data in Flanders' (BOM-vl), sponsored by the Flemish government.
