Audio Visual Working Group - The BFI

This online members-only event will be held on the 14th of July 2023 from 1:00pm - 2:30pm UTC/2:00pm - 3:30pm BST (click for local time).

The BFI National Archive’s Data and Digital Preservation department (https://github.com/bfidatadigipres) will describe their digital preservation approaches for film, video, and born-digital. These presentations will be followed by an opportunity for discussion, in which we can begin to explore whether these methods and practices might be adopted by other Member organizations.

The Audiovisual Working Group (AVWG) brings together DPC Members in order to discuss issues and challenges relating to the preservation of digital content that is either audio, video, or both. The AVWG provides an opportunity to share experiences, discuss good practice, and identify and address common problems. It aims to complement, not duplicate, the activities of any pre-existing groups, meetings, or activities that address the long-term preservation of AV content. Priority is given to discussions of real-world experiences and examples of proven good practice.
