The influence of information systems on archives is created by the following facts possible digitization of different types of classical documents (text, image, sound), formation of hypertext, multimedial and hypermedial (www) documents, standardization of digitized documents and languages to organize character forms of www documents (SGML, HTML, etc.), standardization of exchange, communication and query protocols, possibilities of displaying and accessing of different information sources containing information about documents and also full documents, possibilities of interconnection different information sources and users wherever in the world.

Over the past year and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the entire world has witnessed inequalities across borders and societies. They also include access to archaeological resources, both physical and digital. Both archaeological data creators and users spent a lot of time working from their homes, away from artefact collections and research data. However, this was the perfect moment to understand the importance of making data freely and openly available, both nationally and internationally. This is why the authors of this paper chose to make a selection of data bases from various institutions responsible for preservation and protection of cultural heritage, in order to understand their policies regarding accessibility and usage of the data they keep. This will be done by simple visits to various web-sites or data bases. They intend to check on the volume and content, but also importance of the offered archaeological heritage. In addition, the authors will estimate whether the heritage has adequately been classified and described and also check whether data is available in foreign languages. It needs to be seen whether it is possible to access digital objects (documents and the accompanying metadata), whether access is opened for all users or it requires a certain hierarchy access, what is the policy of usage, reusage and distribution etc. It remains to be seen whether there are public API or whether it is possible to collect data through API. In case that there is a public API, one needs to check whether datasets are interoperable or messy, requiring data cleaning. After having visited a certain number of web-sites, the authors expect to collect enough data to make a satisfactory conclusion about accessibility and usage of Serbian archaeological data web bases.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated or made more visible many known inequalities across borders and societies. This includes access to archaeological resources, both physical and digital. As both the creators and users of archaeological data adapted to working from their homes, cut off from artefact collections and research data siloed within organisations and institutions, the importance of making data freely and openly available internationally became even more pronounced. The ARIADNE infrastructure (ariadne-infrastructure.eu) for archaeological data, and the SEADDA COST Action (seadda.eu) are working to secure the sustainable future of archaeological data across Europe and beyond, in ways that are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable (FAIR). Experience within the ARIADNE partnership during the pandemic was largely positive, with many partners able to carry on as usual with accessing their digital resources, emphasising what is possible, while also emphasising what is not achievable across archaeology, due to lack of capacity. ARIADNE and SEADDA invite papers discussing the challenges, opportunities and lessons learned across all aspects of archaeological data management during the pandemic, and how it may change and inform our best practice going forward. We particularly invite papers from outside of Western Europe on how the COVID-19 pandemic created barriers or opportunities for accessing archaeological resources, so that we may better understand capacity building during a post-COVID era.

Eaa2021 476 preserving historic building documentation pakistan

ariadnenetwork

Like many countries around the world, Pakistan was forced to go into a COVID-19 national lockdown in March 2020. While this confined most people to their homes, it also had the unintended consequence of catapulting many institutions into embracing going digital. At the National College of Arts (NCA), Pakistan’s oldest art school, this meant embracing online tools and digital resources that had previously been resisted or under utilized in the teaching of art, design, and architecture. The experiences of lockdown have highlighted inadequacies and inequities within our systems, and as Pakistan returns to normal there is a renewed will to maintain the momentum gained during the pandemic, and an increased realization of the need for developing and sustaining digital infrastructures. The National College of Arts Archives collect and preserve the records, manuscripts, and other artefacts of historical and archaeological significance at the National College of Arts. From March 2021, the NCA Archives are initiating a project to collect, preserve, and digitize historic building documentation created at the NCA over the past 145 years. This paper will follow this process and document the NCA Archive’s attempt at creating a Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) database of historic building documentation in Pakistan. It will summarize the experiences of the six-month pilot project, including opportunities that have arisen in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, and in light of the Government of Pakistan’s ongoing Digital Pakistan initiative. The paper will also document and analyze the difficulties and hurdles that might emerge during the course of the project as the NCA Archive’s digital infrastructure is built from the ground up in a post-colonial setting and a post-COVID world.

This contribution will present digital assets and initiatives at the Museum of Cultural History (MCH), University of Oslo (UiO) and aims at sharing data. The COVID-19 restrictions have elevated the importance of digital assets. At the beginning of this period, metadata for the archaeological collections were, to a large degree, already digitized and accessible online. This is the result of a national collaboration beginning in the 1990s and continue today in UniMus:Kultur. MCH had also published a map-based overview of all excavations in Eastern/Southern Norway, and begun to release excavation reports through UiO’s science archive. Recently, focus has shifted towards 3D-documentation of exhibits and publication of existing 3D-models on 3DHOP—available through humgis.uiocloud.no MCH now concentrates on digitizing artefacts at the Viking Ship Museum. The 3D-models from here will be included in the BItFROST project, which will address the active role of 3D-models in research and education. BItFROST will work on FAIRifcation of 3D-models and promote dialogue with researchers. The 3DHOP platform enables the creation of interactive user-interfaces for researchers and a public audience. Collaboration with DarkLab in Lund, Sweden will create common user-interfaces for Swedish and Norwegian collections. The project will also utilize AR and VR in the presentation of data. In addition, the infrastructure project ADED (Archaeological Digital Excavation Documentation) provides open-access to excavations in Norway. The five Norwegian university museums and the Directorate of Cultural Heritage take part in the project. ADED’s map-based webpages will integrate excavation documentation and the museums’ artefact/photograph databases, making it possible to have an overview and detailed information of excavations and finds. As part of migrating the data to a common repository, mapping it to CIDOC-CRMarcheo facilitates further mapping to ARIADNEplus and/or other datasets.

The Arolsen Archives is the world's most comprehensive archive on Nazi persecution, containing over 30 million documents on 17.5 million victims of concentration camps and forced labor. It was established in 1947 to help trace missing persons and has since evolved into an archive and research center. The documents are organized by name for tracing purposes and include concentration camp records, forced labor records, and post-war displaced persons records totaling over 96 million digitized documents. The archive is working to further digitize, describe, and provide online access to these historical records through projects like their online archive and e-guide.

Europeana is a large-scale digital library that aggregates over 4 million items from over 1,000 cultural heritage institutions across Europe. It provides centralized access to digitized content from different domains including libraries, archives, museums and audiovisual collections. Europeana aggregates metadata describing objects rather than housing digital objects themselves. The European Union has supported the development of Europeana to provide a single access point for Europe's distributed cultural heritage and promote a common European identity.

Towards more smart, connected and open audiovisual archives

Johan Oomen

As a result of digitisation of analogue holdings and working processes, more and more material from audiovisual archies is being made available online. This marks a transformative shift, as archives and users are now sharing the same information space. Once digital and part of an open network, objects from audiovisual archives can be shared, recommended, remixed, embedded, cited, referenced to and so on. It is a far cry from several years ago, when users were obliged to visit brick and mortar institutions to access collections. This shift towards digital enables archives to fulfil their pubic missions better; crossing geographical boundaries, using new channels for content distribution, engage with user groups and use new technologies to make work processes more efficient and allow for new access points to collections. It also introduces fundamental challenges, forcing audiovisual archives to [1] rethink their role and function in the value chain of media production and modern society at large, [2] assess which activities and competences are vital to succeed in a digital context. We envision the future audiovisual archives to be smart, connected and open; using smart technologies to optimise workflows for annotation and content distribution. Collaborating with third parties to co-design and co-develop new technologies in order to manifest themselves as frontrunners rather than followers. Being connected to other sources of information (other collections, contextual sources), to a variety of often niche user communities, researchers and the creative industries. To embrace the use of standards defined by external instances rather than by the cultural heritage communities themselves. Fully embrace ‘open’ as the default to have maximum impact in society: applying open licences for content delivery, using open source software and open standards wherever possible. Promote open access to publications and so on. This keynote examines how the public mission of archives (i.e. supporting a myriad of users to utilize collections to learn, experience and create) can be achieved in a digital context. It addresses the challenges related to the role and function of institutions and provides practical insights in how archives can establish a culture of innovation to manage challenges they face today. It addresses some of the major questions audiovisual archives are faced with today.

The document discusses some of the challenges the Library of Congress faces in collecting and preserving digital content. It receives content in a wide variety of formats from different programs and partners. These include digitized newspapers, web archives, audiovisual content, tweets, and electronic publications. The Library uses various strategies to help manage this complex task, such as file format standards, multiple copies in different locations, and partnerships with other institutions. However, the diversity of formats and sources means preserving every digital format is extremely challenging.
