Wednesday 11 October @ Everyman Cinema, London Kings Cross

Broadcast Tech and Sport Group present their Archive and Restoration Forum – and Memnon will be there as a sponsor!

Taking place at the Everyman Cinema in the heart of Kings Cross, the half-day event includes a conversation with Claire Cross, Head of Library & Curatorial Services for BBC Archives Technology and Services, as the BBC Archive celebrates its 100^th anniversary.

Later, Memnon CEO Heidi Shakespeare joins colleagues from the industry in a panel discussion about the meeting point between legacy and cutting-edge technology when we are dealing with archive preservation and accessibility, and how technology obsolescence presents a very real threat to the future of archives. The conversation will also explore practical necessities around sourcing and maintaining obsolete VTRs, best practice for the correct storage of film, tape and digital archives, making content discoverable through metadata, and unlocking the commercial potential of the content you have preserved.
