Yle, Finland's national public broadcasting company, is collaborating with customers and cultural institutions to publish its archive materials online and make them openly available. This includes 650,000 TV programs and clips as well as millions of radio programs, photographs, sound effects and music recordings. Yle is publishing this content on its own platforms as well as other sites like Flickr, Freesound and Vimeo under open licenses. They are also crowdsourcing metadata and involving audiences to get feedback and suggestions. This open approach aims to make the archives more accessible and enable new innovative reuse of the materials.
This document discusses a project to catalog the National Educational Television (NET) collection to improve discoverability. The project involves:
1) Creating a comprehensive catalog of 8,000-10,000 entries covering 1953-1972 NET content with descriptive data and location information.
2) Designing a new web interface for the catalog to accommodate different types of data and user search behaviors.
3) Enriching the catalog with linked open data by reconciling descriptions with library authority files and assigning identifiers.
The goal is to make this historically significant but scattered public media collection more accessible through a centralized online portal. Challenges include the complexity of the content and lack of original metadata.
Digital image libraries allow for sharing and accessing image collections for education and exposure to the arts in a more accessible and cost-effective way. However, they also present issues around copyright ownership and navigating large collections. ARTstor is a non-profit organization that provides an image library for educational needs in various subject areas, while the New York Public Library Digital Gallery offers an open access collection from their diverse holdings. Other examples of digital image libraries include the Sistine Chapel virtual tour and Google Image Search.

In this talk we discuss some of the R&D work being done at the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. We endeavour to answer the following questions: What does Sound and Vision do and what kind of collections do they safeguard? What kind of work is being done by their R&D department? What is the current status of multimedia annotation and multimedia retrieval in the archive? In addition we zoom in on the newly arising problem of contextualisation in the archive. How can we make the most of the relations between multiple collections that contain information about the same program, person, or topic? We conclude with a discussion of potential collaboration, and some questions that we would like to answer in future work.

film and television fragments from the rte archiveFIAT/IFTA
This document summarizes a researcher's project analyzing archival material from RTÉ related to how television coverage added to understanding of cinema in Ireland in the early 1960s. The researcher examined RTÉ programming about films and film culture from 1962-1965, especially the series "Kino: World of Film". Clips were found from the 1963 Cork Film Festival. Analysis suggests RTÉ broadcasts triggered debates about social issues addressed in new British films and offered a more nuanced view of audiences' relationships to such films than traditionally understood. The researcher concludes television archives have much to offer film historians and they would benefit from more exploration of broadcaster archives.
Film and television: fragments from the RTE ArchiveFIAT/IFTA
This document summarizes a researcher's project analyzing archival footage and documents from RTÉ, Ireland's national public service media, from 1962-1965. The researcher aims to explore how television coverage added to understanding of cinema in Ireland during this time period. By examining programming about film and archives from RTÉ and other institutions, the researcher found evidence that television played a role in debates around new wave films and censorship in Ireland. Clips from an interview at the 1963 Cork Film Festival provided insights into discussions of social issues triggered by these films.

Discovering what you can't always get from Google - Andrew Bevan - Jisc Digit...Jisc
MediaHub is the trusted multimedia website bringing together content from many different sources including several Jisc initiatives. In addition, image, video and audio sources are searched from external websites and presented alongside hosted collections. Finding material is no longer the challenge but having it presented in a practical and relevant way.
Over the course of several years, a bank of supporting material has been amassed which will be shown at Digifest, demonstrating the many and varied ways such resources are being put to use. These have been provided by members of the education community to share with others using the site – reviews, case studies and even film trails. A new feature also enables user-uploaded images.
Other initiatives to enliven the material include blogposts to focus on the hidden depths of the site and tweets to highlight more topical themes. This drop-in session allows those attending the festival to see the possibilities of using this rich and rewarding material in their learning, teaching or research from illustrating assignments to projecting video within an academic environment.
The other important connection made with MediaHub is to other related Jisc services – BUFVC and Jisc Digital Media are linked on the site for additional support and guidance on using multimedia – providing a comprehensive experience.
Come along and see how it’s done, by using the right media – beyond Google.

Television archives in a post-television world (WRIGHT)FIAT/IFTA
Television archives now serve a post-television world where viewing habits and content production have vastly changed since the 1970s and 1990s. Linear broadcasting has declined as viewership is more fragmented across cable, satellite, internet and streaming services. Younger audiences in particular have turned away from traditional television. Meanwhile, the amount of content available from a growing number of sources has exploded. National archives still aim to preserve public service broadcasting output for research but have expanded their remits to also include online and independent content. Their role in supporting public access to factual media across different distribution channels may become more important as commercial companies prioritize profits over public value. FIAT/IFTA members face challenges in serving broadcasters, independent producers and national institutions

Resources for further information and managing digital footprints are also listed.
The document discusses using digital technology and maps to represent the HMS Iolaire tragedy, a maritime disaster in 1919 where 205 men from the Isle of Lewis died after returning from World War I. It describes adding photos, text, and showing change over time to maps to help tell the story and create a sense of place. Specific details are provided about the journey the men took from England to the Western Isles on New Year's Day 1919 and how maps at different scales can portray events in different ways.
This document introduces Digimap for Schools, an online mapping service designed for schools to use in geography and other subjects. It has Ordnance Survey maps of Great Britain at different zoom levels, as well as historic maps and aerial photography. Students can add their own labels, markers, and other elements to maps. The service allows measuring distances and areas. It is browser-based and can be accessed from school or home. Over 2,690 schools in Britain currently use the service, including 185 Scottish secondary schools. The document outlines how Digimap for Schools can support teaching and learning in subjects beyond geography like numeracy, social studies, sciences, and more. Examples of lessons and activities using the mapping service are provided.
This document provides an introduction to Digimap for Schools, an online mapping service designed for use in UK schools. It highlights key features such as access to historic maps from the 1890s and 1950s, aerial photography, and tools for annotating, measuring, and analyzing maps. Schools subscribe to the service, which allows unlimited users per school to access maps and tools through a web browser on any device. The presenter emphasizes how Digimap for Schools can support teaching and learning across the Scottish curriculum, particularly for geography, by facilitating hands-on activities with maps, data, and spatial analysis. Examples are given of how schools have used the service for topics like land use change, density calculations, and proportional mapping. Teachers observing the presentation

Big Just Got Bigger! discusses the challenges of managing large map collections through the Digimap service. Digimap provides access to geospatial data from various sources, including Ordnance Survey, British Geological Survey, aerial imagery, and more. It has grown significantly over time to include more data sources and users. Managing such large datasets and meeting user expectations of current data and performance presents challenges. Issues include keeping data current while sharing across platforms, disk storage needs increasing exponentially over time, and ensuring data can be accessed and used through various tools and formats.
This document summarizes new and enhanced features in Digimap services from 2015-2016. Key updates include a refreshed homepage, responsive design for tablets, a new historic downloader application, marine chart roam with updated data, additions to ancient roam, land cover vector data, and improvements to geology, marine, and OS data. Usability and performance enhancements were also made, such as improved geo-referencing, easier use of 3D data, and a more reliable backend system. Feedback from users helped inform priority quality improvements.

AP Archive
A unrivalled collection of news footage, including Associated Press, ABC News, and Sky News (launched 1989). AP's coverage includes the Arab-Israeli conflict, the 2003 War in Iraq, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, conflict in the Balkans, US Presidents Bush, Reagan, and Clinton, Nelson Mandela, and many more.
Images – all main figures of British art in the twentieth century are represented, e.g. John Singer Sargent and William Orpen, and progressive artists such as Paul Nash, Stanley Spencer and Graham Sutherland. The proclamations are drawn from a collection of around 33000 paper items from 1st and 2nd world wars, conveying official instructions and statements and home and abroad.
Amber
Documentaries and feature films from a remarkable film-making collective established in the north-east of England in 1968. Of interest to students, teachers and researchers in the fields of media studies and of UK political and social history in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
The Amber Film Collective was established in 1968 when a group studying at the Regent Street Polytechnic met and subsequently moved to the north-east of England with the declared aim of documenting working-class communities in the region. It was therefore one of the first independent, regional co-operatives deliberately set up to operate outside the mainstream metro-centric film industry and is also one of the few remaining survivors of the workshop movement still producing films today.
Amber aims to work collaboratively with the local communities to produce a film and photographic record that gives them a genuine voice, ideally to produce some permutation of film, photographic exhibition and book.
Over the past 36 years Amber has produced a body of work of remarkable integrity that not only draws on the social realism that is so much part of the British documentary tradition but also uses an imaginative aesthetic approach.
Royal Mail
One of the finest British collections of documentary, public information, animation and industrial film, covering subjects ranging across transport and communications in Britain and abroad, the Home Front during the Second World War, British industries from fishing to mining, the nation's health - and developments in the Post Office service itself. A selection of 16 hours.
Founded in 1933 as successor to the Empire Marketing Board Film Unit and headed by John Grierson in the role of Film Officer, the GPO Film Unit produced one of the finest British collections of documentary, public information, animation and industrial film ever to come from a single UK source, spanning much of the 20th Century.
The GPO Film Unit provided a temporary home to many of the best-known names in the British documentary movement, including Alberto Cavalcanti, Humphrey Jennings, Basil Wright, Harry Watt, Edgar Anstey, Arthur Elton and John Taylor, alongside innovators and experimentalists such as Len Lye and Norman McLaren. The Unit remained in existence throughout the 1930s and survived into the early years of the Second World War, when it became the Crown Film Unit.
The collection includes classics such as Nightmail (1936), which perhaps best exemplifies how British industry supported leading artists in the pre-television age, drawing as it does on the combined talents of Basil Wright and Harry Watt, alongside WH Auden, Benjamin Britten, John Grierson and Stuart Legg.
Films of scotland
Documentary films on all aspects of Scotland. A selection of 50 hours.
One of the most coherent local and national film collections in the UK, Films of Scotland charts the changing face of Scotland from the 1930s to 1982.
All the films were made under the auspices of the Films of Scotland Committee, which had a brief to sponsor films to promote Scotland's social, cultural and industrial attributes, both nationally and internationally.
In collaboration with Scottish Screen Archive, National Library of Scotland, most of the 155 Films of Scotland titles ever produced are available, including all seven films made for the Empire Exhibition in 1938, as well as a selection of the films made between 1955 and 1982; topics covered range across industry, agriculture, fishing, the work of Scottish artists and writers, architecture, tourism, urban redevelopment and Scottish music and dancing.
IET.tv It features over 3,000 presentations filmed between 2002-2012 from a range of IET events, lectures, seminars, conferences, as well as other organisations' events and expert interviews. These events are highly regarded by the global engineering community and feature key academic and practising engineers and technologists from around the world, who are specialists in their fields.Aimed at the engineering academic and research market, the IET.tv collection covers the following eight key technology areas:
Communications
Control & Automation
Electronics
IT
Management
Manufacturing
Power
Transport
Biochemical Society
A substantial selection of films from the Biochemical Society Archive, charting the development of biochemistry in the later 20th century through the experiences of some of the subject's most celebrated practitioners.
The Biochemical Society Archive films chart the development of biochemistry in the later 20th century through the experiences of some of the subject's most celebrated practitioners. Interviewees include Professor Patricia Clarke, Sir John Cornforth, Dr Dorothy Hodgkin, Sir James Lovelock, Professor Alfred Neuberger, Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgy and Lord Alexander Todd.
IWF
A wide selection of material from one of the leading science film institutes in the world, based in Germany. A series of highlight extracts from the collection's complete films is available, each one complete in itself and showing a single process or phenomenon, together with a growing list of complete films from the collection.
Based in Germany, the IWF is one of the leading science film institutes in the world. It has been working since the late 1940s on behalf of academic researchers to create audio-visual recordings of physical phenomena in nature and technology, the biological sciences, and ethnographic customs and processes in culture and society. Please note that the soundtrack of a small number of films in the collection is in German.
The IWF collection is of interest to students of biomedical science and life sciences, zoology, botany, anthropology, chemistry, environmental science, genetics, oceanography, chemistry, physics, physical sciences, mathematics, ethnography and geology.
Over 50 hours of copyright-free classical music and associated scores, covering much of the core repertoire plus rarer pieces from the 17th to the 20th centuries. Adaptation and manipulation permitted.
The Culverhouse Classical Music Collection comprises over 50 hours of copyright-free classical music, covering much of the core repertoire plus rarer pieces from the 17th to the 20th centuries. It is licensed from Brian Culverhouse, who, after 20 years at EMI, has been an independent record producer for 30 years, working with many famous performers.
For ease of use, the music is available in small pieces, such as movements, and some associated scores are also available.
Users are permitted to extract sections for delivery in VLEs or on disc, relieving pressure on hard-pressed libraries, allowing staff and students to download and burn customised CDs while librarians will be able to replace any that go missing.
As a repository of musical examples, the Culverhouse Classical Music Collection is a boon to music teaching at all levels. However the really innovative aspect of the licence agreement is that it allows manipulation of the files.
Using their preferred software, users are permitted to repurpose the wav files, including stretching or compressing
Images covering a wide range of pictorial content drawn from the rich, diverse and internationally significant collections of The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, including major artists such as Canaletto, J.M.W. Turner, George Stubbs and John Constable. Every image is tagged by geographical location and a date or period.
Many of the images are linked to contemporary social and political events. For example, George Stubbs' painting of the horse 'Gimcrack with John Pratt up on Newmarket Heath' of c.1765 marks an important period in the history of horse-racing in Britain, when the coloured silks of patrons had been introduced and the sport had begun to attract a wide public. Other images depict engineering structures or science and technology subjects: a number of ceramics, for example, have images of industrial buildings and events, such as the Great Exhibition of 1851 or the Dublin Industrial Exhibition of 1853. A painting such as Ford Madox Brown's 'The Last of England', depicting 19th-century emigrants leaving the UK with the cliffs of Dover in the background, offers comparative material on the theme of emigration within a social, political and cultural context.

The Johnston Collection of photographs, from the North Highland College.
The Johnston Collection is a historic photographic collection of national and European significance dating from as early as 1840. The Johnston family were amongst the earliest pioneers of photography, and their work spans almost a hundred and forty year period between around 1840 and 1979. Working in and around the Caithness and Sutherland areas, their subject matter ranged from general Highland life, through the fishing industry, working women, politics, architecture, and general portraiture, all of it of considerable historic value. The last remaining member of the Johnston dynasty still resides in Wick, and it is he who donated the collection to its current guardians.
