This workshop will provide a basic introduction to all aspects of audiovisual collections management and preservation, in response to a felt need to equip the “forgotten people” of audiovisual archiving who are charged with caring for collections about which they have limited professional expertise. The programme is intended to open the gateway to networks of contacts and sources of knowledge which the individual can pursue after the conference at their own pace.
The workshop is for professional Librarians in organizations where preservation of, and provision of access to, audiovisual materials is not the main preoccupation, but who need to understand and apply basic principles in limited circumstances. They will be trained by top experts in the field, including:
Pio Michele Pellizzari (Chair of the IASA Training & Education Committee and Director, Swiss National Sound Archives)
Kurt Deggeller (Convenor of CCAAA and Director, Memoriav - Association for the preservation of the audiovisual heritage of Switzerland)
Howard Besser (Professor of Cinema Studies at New York University)
