European
training courses
TAPE will organize an annual 5 days’ European training
course on preservation and digitization of audiovisual collections.
The programme has been developed by experts from different
countries with training expertise, among them the TAPE partners,
some of whom have extensive experience with training in
this specific area.
Target group
The course will be aimed at those responsible for managing
audiovisual collections with little or no specialist knowledge
and will take as its starting point the principle that collection
managers have to develop their own policies in which preservation
and digitization are combined so as to ensure long-term
access to materials. The courses will be introductory, covering
a wide array of topics against a background of technological
developments.
Topics and features
Preventive preservation, storage, handling and transfer
will be discussed as measures to extend the useful life
of materials. The possibilities offered by new technology
will be reviewed against a framework of management of cultural
collections.
Cataloguing and description, copyrights, presentation,
and user requirements will be covered as factors that need
to be addressed in order to bring audiovisual collections
out into the open and promote widespread use by researchers,
for educational purposes and by the general public.
Technical aspects will be discussed as a good basic knowledge
of technology is indispensable in order to make sound decisions
about management of collections. The emphasis will be on
practical aspects and application of existing solutions,
in a process of assessment, setting priorities, selection,
planning and project management.
