Module I: Preservation techniques and methodologies for digital audiovisual works

No matter if you have just started the digitization of your audiovisual collection or you have almost finished it or your collection is already born-digital. Beware that your precious digital data, zeroes and ones, are even in a bigger danger than the original analogue material they have originated from. The preservation process is never finished; it just bears a new adjective: digital preservation.

Sooner or later you will be facing the same difficulties that our experts have been facing already for a while: how to ensure long-term availability, accessibility and usability of digital media objects and associated metadata, and finding ways to increase access by integrating the media archives with European on-line digital libraries in a digital preservation framework. The good news is that the experts are willing to share their skills and know-how with you!

• Digital preservation
• Long-term digital preservation (OAIS)

Crete

About the place of execution: Crete is the largest island of Greece, and because of its size and the fact that it is far away from the mainland, it is quite different from the rest of the country. The people speak a very distinctive dialect, have many customs nowhere else to be found, and often refer to themselves as Cretan, not Greek. In Greece, the Cretan people are known to be the toughest. Family vendettas still occur, and authorities are desperately trying to stop the custom to fire guns at weddings.

Crete has everything: beaches, hidden villages, big cities, snow-clad mountains, archaeological sites, medieval fortresses, museums and beautiful surroundings. The archaeological site of Knossos is one of the most famous ancient sites of Greece, and the island has the longest summer season because of its position. The summers on Crete usually get extremely hot, so be prepared.
