Abstract

Audiovisual archives have to digitise to survive, and their digital content will be enormous: 100 times larger than all other forms of digital archive content. Can it be done? This paper describes the problem, presents practical solutions – and shows how all archives, and archive digitization projects, can benefit from the experience in the audiovisual sector.
