Announcement
TAPE regional training course on preservation and digitisation of audio
and video collections, Vienna, Austria, 12-16 November 2007
TAPE will organize a 5 days' regional training course on preservation
and digitisation of audio and video collections. The programme has been
developed on the basis of experiences made in former TAPE training
courses, and is specifically adapted for small audiovisual and mixed
media research collections.
The course will be jointly organised by the Phonogrammarchiv of the
Austrian Academy of Sciences, partner in project TAPE, and by the
Austrian Mediathek.
Target group
The course will be aimed at those planning, or already actively involved
in preservation /digitisation projects of their audio and video
collections. The courses will survey technical and ethical principles of
audio and video preservation as well as practical work.
Topics and features
Tutorials will include audio and video carrier technology, their
components and vulnerability, handling and storage; maintenance of
equipment, format obsolescence, strategy and ethical principles of
long-term preservation; analogue-to digital-transfer and digital
repositories, focussing on small scale - low cost solutions. Emphasis
will also be put on collection assessment and planning of projects for
preservation.
Registration fee
The registration fee is 600 Euros. Participants from institutions that
are TAPE partners or from Academies of Sciences having cooperation
agreements with the Austrian Academy of Sciences will pay 500 Euros. For
the latter, a limited number of grants to cover accommodation and
subsistence in Vienna is available upon special application. The fee
includes coffees, teas, lunches, and a course pack with reading
materials.
Participants should make their own travel and accommodation
arrangements. The local organisers, however, will assist to find
modestly priced hotel accommodation, if requested.
Registration forms must be received by 28 September.
