Archive Symposium
Our Archive Symposium, "Large Scale Digitization of Cultural Heritage" was a huge success. Over seventy visitors from around the world, thirty partners and speakers, and ten exhibiting companies joined us at the BBC TV Centre in London UK, October 13th and 14th.
Archive facilities around the world are dealing with a number of challenges when it comes to the correct workflow for their specific needs. Maintaining and preserving a great deal of cultural heritage is becoming a priority for many. During the symposium, archivists from around the world presented their success, and difficulties with their existing approaches. The Archive Symposium demonstrated a solutions-based approach for preservation and restoration helping archivists accomplish their mission.
We would like to send a heartfelt thanks to our partners that dedicated their time and efforts to make this event a success.
If you were not able to join us for the Archive Symposium we have made all nineteen of the presentations available to you. If you have any questions, or would like more product information, please contact us at: info@dft-film.com
