How do audiovisual archives demonstrate that they have a financial value to their parent organisation?

As custodians of audiovisual heritage, archivists today face complex ethical dilemmas that go beyond rights issues. When does historical footage become “inappropriate” for modern reuse? How do we address systemic bias in legacy metadata?

Our panel of leading experts will dive deep into the professional responsibilities of republishing, focusing on:

• Harmful Heritage: Strategies for managing biased or offensive metadata.
• Vulnerability & Visibility: Ethical frameworks for the reuse of footage featuring marginalized or vulnerable groups.
• Curation versus Censorship: How to contextualize “outdated” materials for a responsible present-day audience.

Join us for an open, multi-perspective discussion on how to navigate these sensitive challenges while ensuring our archives remain both relevant and ethically sound.

Learn how to bring the past into the present with integrity.
