Abstract

Television is becoming digital, as are TV archives and archival research. Digitisation of previously archived footage is a slow, expensive process that requires significant public funding. This fact, together with new technological developments, favours the opening of major archives to the general public (BBC, INA, B&G, etc.). For TV stations, digitising and media asset management (MAM) systems offer new tools and generate a new work environment, both for reporters and archival research.
