Translations:Registratie en identificatie van video- en audiotapes bij Damaged Goods voor digitalisering/14/en
It is not possible for arts organisations to work directly with VIAA as a partner concerned with content, but VIAA does enter into partnerships with collection managing institutions. Because it is not in principle part of arts organisations’ mission to guarantee the sustainable accessibility of their audiovisual archive, VIAA prefers collaborations with arts organisations to take place via a collection managing institution, which then takes on the intermediary role, and also commits to preserving the digitised material in the long term. For the Damaged Goods archive, VTi is taking on this role. Also, VTi is not a collection managing institution like the museums, cultural archives or heritage libraries that operate within the cultural heritage sector, but one of its missions is to fulfil the role of documentation centre for the performing arts.
