Abstract

The need to preserve the audiovisual archives and the possibilities for diffusion brought by digitisation has generated a growing interest in the development of platforms to disseminate these contents. One of these platforms is VideoActive, a pan-European collaborative project that has developed a thematic approach to the European history through TV and to the history of European TV. One of its key objectives is to encourage the collaboration with the academic world. The consortium has developed its own technical infrastructure to offer at least 10,000 items from ten different European archives, including that of Televisió de Catalunya´s, the Catalan public service broadcaster which seeks to contribute to the internationalization of the Catalan culture.
