Acquire The Skills And Tools You Need To Valorize Your Public Media Archives

Overview

Archives are a unique asset for Public Media organizations. They can be used to enrich digital content as well as TV and radio programmes. When made available to the public, to schools or for commercial use, media archives can play an even stronger social role and help bring together different generations and segments of the audience.

To ensure that your media archives are fully accessible, you need to empower your archives professionals with the right tools, processes, and skills. To that end, EBU Academy & INA - the French Institut National de l’Audiovisuel – have joined forces to develop an 18-hour tailored online course. 

The objectives of the course are as follows: 

• Give media archive professionals a roadmap on how to make their archives more accessible and develop their educational and commercial use.
• Facilitate the internal use of archives so that content producers have access to media archives that are easily retrievable, well indexed and with cleared rights.

To make it easier for professionals to acquire the new skills at their own pace, the course is delivered online on INA’s Learning Management System, inaformation.com.

Who It's For:

• Professionals working in the preservation, management, and access of audiovisual archives
• Digital archivists, media archive technicians, media managers 
• Researchers

It is recommended that several colleagues from the same Archive department take part in the course together to maximize the impact for the organization.
