The Finnish Museum of Photography will be hosting this
conference
as part of the project Safeguarding European Photographic Images for
Access (SEPIA) funded under the European Union's Culture 2000 Programme.
The conference's aim will be to bring together a wide
audience of professionals from archives, museums, libraries and the
commercial sector who are responsible for management of photographic
collections, and experts in photography and digital imaging. The focus
will be on management of photographic collections, the possibilities
for increasing access to the photographic heritage, and problems of
preservation (of photographs as well as digital collections). The orientation
of the conference will be towards application of new technology, with
an emphasis on projects that have explored solutions for issues like
scanning requirements, descriptions, searching and metadata, user requirements,
inter-operability, digital asset management, financial and organizational
aspects, exploitation of collections, copyright etc. The results of
the SEPIA project will also be presented at the conference.
