AIM is a capacity building project to promote and carry out preservation and digitization and to facilitate access to the archival and contemporary cinema of the Western Balkans in situ. AIM is designed to bring equipment and professional expertise in film and video preservation for access to countries with a rich audiovisual heritage, but where, due to decades of infrastructural challenges, access to the tools for ongoing preservation and restoration have been limited. We are committed to fostering collaboration and increasing preservation initiatives by bringing the latest technologies to the region, along with the necessary training for the archives and archivists, so they can begin to provide digital access to their own materials. ACP will provide oversight and maintenance as we work with all participating archives to build a digital repository for the archives to share information about their important collections online, globally.
As of April 2017, we have just added a Resource Guide for AV Archivists, please visit this page for up to date information, and contact us to share links to resources you would like us to add to the list.
