An Expedition to European Digital Cultural Heritage

23 June 2006, Salzburg, Austria

Hosted by the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision & ORF.

The PrestoSpace project has been developing an array of tools designed to provide new solutions and services for use in mass digitisation projects.
Their development has occurred in four “Work Areas”:

• Preservation
• Restoration
• Storage Archive Management
• Documentation and Publication Process
  

 
What exactly has been developed to date?
This demonstration workshop will provide the answers to that question.
It will begin in the morning with Work Area Leader presentations followed by interactive demonstrations in the afternoon.
