More about the project
This project studies how film and video archives curate access to their collections in the digital era. The project discusses how search terms, metadata, database design and new catalogue texts create new interpretative frameworks for our audiovisual cultural heritage. In the archives’ curatorial practice, analogue and digital are not opposites, but complement each other in a productive way.
The project is part of the research in Linnaeus University Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies (IMS)
