Abstract: 

Sound and moving image archives take care of their collections more and more in digital form. With digitisation and digital preservation comes the notion of what Peter Kaufman calls the 'double helix': the obligation to provide access to collections. More and more collections can be found online, even if archives themselves aren't necessarily the ones providing it.

Using examples from their various projects, the presenters discuss and lobby for improving access to collections - of their own organisations and those of others. The panel also will discuss major reasons that hold archives back from improving online access to the collections - issues such as copyright and its workarounds, and mission critical approaches.
