Sound and Image Collections Conservation (SOIMA)

"See, Listen and Share"
Brussels, Belgium
3-4 September 2015

Locked in obsolete formats and threatened by degradation and decay,
nearly all of sound and image collections held by museums, archives,
libraries, universities and other cultural or research repositories
face the imminent threat of extinction.  As a result, the world
stands to lose a wealth of knowledge and information, a wealth that
binds communities together and is crucial for conserving our natural
and cultural diversity.

Is it possible to prevent this loss? Join us at SOIMA 2015 to
identify strategies that will help to unlock this heritage and
realize its full potential. We are seeking practical examples, which
demonstrate that good does not necessarily mean expensive and
effective does not always mean high tech. Or, contribute by
highlighting the critical role of partnerships and exchanges across
disciplines and media types, and between actors such as creators,
collectors, preservers, professionals promoting access, and users.

Give a talk, contribute a poster or exhibit a unique example (of
sound and image heritage.
