Abstract

This thesis assumes that the audiovisual materials are invaluable part of cultural heritage and that digitisation is the only way for its long-term preservation. The focus of the thesis is on the broadcasting archives as the largest and the most important creators of audiovisual records and the different methods and standards that these archives use to digitize their material. The first part of the thesis deals with the definition of the concept of audiovisual documents and the description of the digitization process. Within this process the following procedures are described: analysis and selection of materials, digitization of image, sound, film and video material as well as procedures for their storage with an emphasis on the selection of equipment and systems for storage and transfer as well as the selection of the metadata schema. The second part consists of overview of specific digitisation projects of different types of audiovisual materials in the major European broadcasting archives. Described examples include digitization projects in the British BBC, the Italian RAI, the French INA and the Dutch B&G archives.
