See, Listen and Share!
3 -4 September 2015, Brussels, Belgium
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.
Key conference themes:
- Memory, Intangible Heritage and Creative Expressions
- Sustaining Sound and Image Heritage
- Creative Use and Access
- Education and Training: Current Needs and Future Possibilities
Deadline for abstracts for all contributions: 15 February 2015
