FIAF Cataloguing and Documentation Commission Workshop: "Film-Related Materials in Archives - From Acquisition to Access" 20-21 June 2025 Bologna (MAMbo at the Cineteca di Bologna) Registrations will open on 1 April 2025
Presentation of the course
Photos, posters, press clippings, 3D objects, sheet music and many other materials are collected, catalogued, digitised and made accessible in and by filmarchives. These diverse documents are commonly grouped under the term “film-related materials”. However, each of these types of materials requires a completely different approach in terms of collection, digitization, and also cataloguing, and most of all, requires specialised and trained archivists. In addition, these departments within the film institutions are usually staffed with fewer people than the film departments.
