Archive management

If you are the owner of a video or film archive, are you exploiting it to its full potential?
Most archive owners face one of the following challenges:

They own the rights to content but need to locate or acquire a clean copy
They have a stack of video tapes or film reels but don’t know what they contain
The archive is well catalogued but the stock is degrading and needs to be digitized
The archive has been digitized but needs to be repurposed for sale and delivery

Many rights owners are public bodies such as government departments or sports associations. They may not have the expertise to digitize their content or manage long-term storage and management facilities. Or they may struggle to raise the capital required to embark on a major archive management programme whose benefits may only be realized over an extended period of time.
