THE COURSE
Audiovisual records are an integral part of our contemporary life and
culture. Yet, audiovisual mat erials all around the world, especially
those housed in heritage or other institutions with mixed c ollections are
at risk due to deterioration, technological obsolescence or damage from
natural and other disasters. Moreover, preservation and conservation of
audiovisual materials is complex, requ iring specialized guidance, skills
and infrastructure. While digitization offers new possibilities
for wider access and preservation, many institutions lack expertise to
assess the technological im
plications and to make informed choices that do not strain institutional
resources and at the same time respect the authenticity and inherent
values of this heritage.
The course will discuss the meaning, selection and use of audiovisual
collections in various contex ts, exploring the potential of audiovisual
media in transmitting knowledge and cultural traditions.
It will provide an overview of issues related to the preservation and
access of audiovisual materi
als e.g., films, tapes, cassettes, disks. It will especially focus on
identification of various for mats including the playback equipment, life
expectancy of media and ways of detecting deterioration . Course topics
will include: current knowledge and practices for documenting, handling
and storage , risk assessment of collections, emergency preparedness and
response, criteria and technologies fo r migration and reformatting,
planning preservation projects, outsourcing options, mass storage sys tems
and management of metadata. Other issues such as copyright laws, legal
deposit, institutional and national preservation policies will be
discussed in context with participants' working realitie s. Adaptation to
technological changes and related cost-effective preservation strategies
will form
a key component of the course.
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the course, participants will be able to recognize all the
materials and media in the ir audiovisual collections, to Identify risks,
and make informed choices for preservation and acces s. They will have
improved their skills to communicate effectively across disciplines and to
work i n team.
COURSE METHODOLOGY
The course will comprise lectures, a variety of group activities,
practical sessions, case studies and site visits. Significant time will
be allocated for independent consultation with the course t
eam. Case studies for the course will be based on participants' inputs and
will address issues and challenges identified by them. Thus, active
involvement of participants will be sought during the c ourse preparation
phase. A follow-up programme, will involve working on self-defined
initiatives in
participants' home institutions and communicating as well as networking
through a platform support
ed by the organizers.
PARTICIPANTS
The course is aimed at professionals working with collections containing
audiovisual materials of n ational significance. In particular, it will
interest archivists, collection managers, conservators , curators and
librarians in charge of preserving such collections. It will also interest

6. New EU project: PLANETS - digital preservation research and technology
Digital media have become the dominant way that we create, shape, and
exchange information. Unlike
paper, however, we have very limited abilities to ensure that today's
digital information will be
accessible in 10, 50, or 100 years. Unless we act now, we will lose
access to the first decades of
the digital era, and future generations will see a gaping hole in their
cultural and scientific re
cord.
The Planets project brings together European National Libraries and
Archives, leading research inst itutions, and technology companies to
address the challenge of preserving access to digital cultura l and
scientific knowledge.
Preservation and Long-term Access through Networked Services (Planets) is
funded by the European Co mmission Information Science and Technolgies
Framework Programe 6 Call 5 (FP6 Call 5). The 4-year project started in
June 2006 and has 16 partners.
