How to Keep our Audiovisual Memories Safe?
Storing Home Movies, Home Video and Online Content
On May 2-3 in Bonn, in the Institut für Landeskunde und Regionalgeschichte in Bonn an international event will take place in which various parties will discuss several practices of collecting, storing, preserving and contextualizing home movies and how this knowledge can be transferred to do-it-yourself archivists at home as well. The workshop will explore different perspectives offered by film archivist, scholars and film makers on how to store home movies, home video and online content. The aim of the workshop is to develop an online Best Practice Guide that will bring together expertise and experience about the following themes:
