RTÉ Archives is in a process of digital transformation. This presentation will look at our approach and progress with digitisation, digitalisation and digital transformation; how we are restructuring our teams and developing new skills and juggling both digital and analogue workflows in parallel; and what opportunities and challenges will arise with the provision of digital access to our archive content in the future.

It will also look at RTÉ’s new digital storage solution examining the options considered and the approach taken to consolidate disparate digital storage systems into one system that is sustainable, resilient, secure and scalable. It will explain how object storage manages resilience and security and how it facilitates RTÉ Archives’ storage and digital preservation requirements.
