The International Council on Archives (ICA) and the EUreka3D Consortium are pleased to present the second series of webinars on 3D Digitisation and Digital Transformation of Cultural Heritage. Following the success of the 2023 edition, which attracted over 300 participants globally, this new series continues to explore crucial aspects of digitisation in cultural heritage.
The second session, taking place on 24 October 2024, will be facilitated by David Iglésias Franch, CRDI/Ajuntament de Girona and chair of the ICA’s Photographic and Audiovisual Expert Group (ICA/PAAG). Focusing on the experience of the Cinema Museum of Girona, the webinar will explore how archives can ensure high-quality digital reproductions of complex objects, such as pre-cinema artifacts. Topics will include the need for skilled professionals, the development of effective working methodologies, the criteria for evaluating results, and strategies to make these 3D materials accessible online, ultimately preserving and sharing the richness of our audiovisual heritage.

SUMMARY
Audiovisual archives bear witness to all the audiovisual production, and the thousands of images preserved on a wide range of media enable an unprecedented narrative about our past. Besides, audiovisual heritage includes all the devices that made it possible to capture and to show all this imaginary. The significance of this heritage has been taken into account in the EUreka3D project through the digitisation of the pre-cinema collection of the Cinema Museum of Girona. In this webinar, we will explain, from CRDI experience, how Archives face the challenge of the 3D digitisation considering the need to achieving high-quality digital reproduction. We will talk about the need of skilled professionals, the existence of a working methodology, the ability to analyse the complexity of the objects to be reproduced, the criteria to assess the results and the commitment of making these 3D materials accessible online.
