EUscreen Publishes Second Status Report
Online Access to Audiovisual Heritage
EUscreen is
pleased to announce its second status report Online Access to
Audiovisual Heritage. In three chapters, the report gives an overview of
technological developments bearing an influence on publishing and
making accessible historical footage. The report discusses online
heritage practices within Europe and beyond.
In a field that faces constant renewal, overhaul and additional
challenges, the report means to take stock of the status of the online
audiovisual heritage field. This allows the EUscreen project to measure
our own strategies and technological development and allows the
participating archives, broadcasters and the broader GLAM community to
come up with solutions for providing access that cater to users' needs
and environments.
This document is a follow‐up on the first EUscreen status report, published one year ago.
Report Overview
The
status report is divided into three chapters, each focusing on a
different aspect of online access. Through this structure, we
successively discuss three main trends regarding access, namely: 1) use
and reuse today, 2) trends towards a cultural commons and 3) fundamental
research in the area of audiovisual content.
The first chapter gives an overview of major developments, including
access provision and use of content by the creative industries. In the
second chapter we explore the topic of (sustainable) reuse of
audiovisual sources as a cultural and explorative practice leading
towards more open and participatory archives. Finally, the third chapter
discusses European research topics that are currently ongoing in areas
connected to audiovisual heritage.
The report was edited by Erwin Verbruggen and Johan Oomen and can be downloaded here.
We're
currently heading towards the final stages of the EUscreen project,
which will conclude in September with the final EUscreen conference in
Budapest. This status report comes at a time where the project needs to
reflect on its position in the field and on its long-term sustainable
future as a service for the various stakeholders.
