The recording of the experts roundtable discussion “Archives & Ethics: Past Content Through Today’s Lens” is now available!

If you missed the live session or want to revisit the insightful conversation, you can now watch the full recording on the FIAT/IFTA YouTube channel.

This roundtable explored the complex ethical dilemmas that archivists face today, extending far beyond copyright issues. When does historical footage become “inappropriate” for modern reuse? How do we address systemic bias in legacy metadata?

Thank you again to our speakers, attendees, and everyone supporting the conversation around how to navigate these sensitive challenges while ensuring our archives remain both relevant and ethically sound.
