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.

Keynote Speaker: David Iglésias Franch,  CRDI/Ajuntament de Girona.
