Digital Preservation

The Winter School offers archivists and collection holders of AV archives the necessary knowledge and skills to form or improve the digital preservation management of their audiovisual collections.
The Winter School for Audiovisual Archiving is an initiative from the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision in collaboration with AVA_Net.
The Winter School has been developed for collection holders and archivists from the Netherlands and abroad. The course language will be English.
