Translations:Registratie en identificatie van video- en audiotapes bij Damaged Goods voor digitalisering/17/en
The subsequent action plan was agreed by PACKED vzw with Damaged Goods:
- Inventory of the audiovisual archive: this provides an overview of the number of tapes and other media, the media formats that make up the archive and the content that is being stored on the media (recordings, rehearsals, improvisations, video material used during a performance, inspirational material, etc.).
- Setting priorities: priorities can be set on the basis of factors including the state and content of the media. This makes it possible to look at whether or not the digitisation of particular media is urgent. If the material is already in bad condition or is urgently required for particular reference purposes, it may not be possible to wait for VIAA.
- Establishing contacts: Digitisation is expensive. If certain material does need to be digitised outside VIAA, one option would be to make contacts with other (dance) organisations and to create a pool of work to be digitised in order to cut down the costs.
- Establishing quality requirements (if the digitisation takes place outside VIAA).
- Requesting and evaluating quotes (if the digitisation takes place outside VIAA).
