Description
During the ongoing pandemic, memory institutions are experiencing renewed pressure to provide user-friendly remote access to sound and image heritage. However, not all audio-visual content is in a ready to share form.
Commemorating the World Day for AudioVisual Heritage, this webinar aims to draw attention to the pressing need for preserving sound and image heritage and through it, the cultural record of 20th and 21st centuries. It illustrates the case of Vietnam’s National Archives to highlight issues ranging from institutional backlogs, intellectual property rights to technology upgrades and business planning, which memory institutions have to address, in order to make their content openly accessible for creative use.
In 2019, the National Archives of Vietnam partnered with ICCROM to organise a field project with the aim to enhance its capacity for preparing a preservation plan and providing greater access to its sound and image collections. The capacity development field project was conceived as part of ICCROM’s Sound and Image Collections Conservation programme initiated in 2006. (See video)
