Imagine this: What if there were one place for all your audiovisual needs? Lithuanian Central State Archives can answer that easily – we proudly present the latest version of our newly launched virtual audiovisual archive, E-Kinas (which means E-Cinema or E-Movie).

Although our archive has felt the need for such a website since 2012, the journey to this point has been long. The most important period of work began in 2022 with the opening of the Movie Archive. In 2024, we expanded to include the Photography Archive, and in 2025, we launched the Audio Archive. This is where we mark the beginning of our main project, as it is only then that E-Kinas became a true virtual audiovisual archive, preserving three main types of documents.

Our primary goal is to promote and make our digitized audiovisual heritage more visible, accessible, and reusable! We aim to engage visitors not just in watching and exploring the content but also in searching for and utilizing it. That’s why we’ve included a range of features and online services that are available to every visitor. Feel free to explore over 200,000 documents at your own pace, without any geo-blocking, at any time.

Today, E-Kinas is an active participant in the ongoing dialogue of Lithuanian culture. We collaborate daily with filmmakers, photographers, researchers, and amateur artists. We are proud to provide material for documentary films, exhibitions, and books. Our audience also includes the general public – seniors, schoolchildren, students, and families – as well as the Lithuanian diaspora living abroad. E-Kinas is evolving into more than just a website; it’s becoming a vibrant live and virtual community.

Thanks to the modernized, user-friendly interface, more and more audiovisual heritage can be re-used for educational, artistic, and other purposes. It’s time for you to visit E-Kinas!

Canuint.ie is a unique innovative online repository of Irish Dialects audio recordings and transcripts. The project was developed and collated in a partnership between Dublin City University -Gaois Research Group, RTÉ Archives and, Radio na Gaeltachta, RTÉ’s Irish language broadcast radio service, supported by the Archive Funding Scheme of Coimisiún na Meán, Ireland’s national media regulator.

The aim of the project was to make a collection of exemplary regional Irish language dialects from the RTÉ Archives available to the public in general as well as for the scientific and linguistic research community for the promotion and development of the Irish language.

It includes an initial 200 selected exemplary recordings from twelve counties, incorporating Gaeltacht areas as they are understood today, where Irish is still the spoken language, as well as localities where the language has long since disappeared.

The recordings are plotted on an interactive map which acts as a browsing aid for the user. and have been dialectically transcribed below the audio player, synchronised word for word with the audio track in a way that helps the user to follow the conversation. The transcriptions are also provided in standardised Irish and this version is given as a guide wherever the dialectal transcription deviates from standard spelling.

The focus of the repository includes some of the earliest Irish recordings collated, from collections dating back to the 1930s and 40s up to the 1990s. This was a hugely complex project due to the disparate locations and history of the recordings and conservation issues and linguistic metadata challenges involved, resulting in some 160,000 hours of Irish Language audio materials identifed, collated, conserved, and digitised into a single unified archive and now preserved and accesible as part of RTÉ’s digital archiving programme.

Work on research and development of the project involved a collaboration of experts from the RTE Archives, RTE Technology, Radio na Gaeltachta and Irish Language programme makers and specialists, with partners in DCU providing linguistic and technical expertise from speicalists in the DCU Gaois research group.

100 Years On Air is an interactive digital experience created by RTVE’s Innovation Lab to celebrate the centenary of radio in Spain. Framed as an online escape room, the project invites users on a time-traveling journey through ten decades of Spanish radio history.

The experience challenges users to test their knowledge of the medium, but all puzzles can be solved by listening carefully to the audio clues in each room. Players must identify voices, match events to dates, or interact with historical objects to unlock a final frequency. A hint button and countdown timer shape the journey, revealing a listener profile—expert, loyal, or amateur—along with a custom audio recap once the mission is complete.

The project also features a curated archive of over 150 audio clips—many exclusive to this section—offering deeper immersion into the medium’s legacy. Organized by decade and freely accessible, it showcases everything from vintage ads to rare recordings of iconic voices, underlining the cultural impact of radio in Spain.
