In this session, RTS London looks at how new technology has opened up the BBC Archive as a source of new resources and user experiences, enabling producers, educators, and the public to access an incomparable volume of audio and video content. The switch to modern digital architectures is enabling transformational process change, leading to more efficient forms of discovery and curation, and far greater accessibility.
 
The BBC Archives Technology & Services team will show how machine learning has helped to construct new content, including an in-depth look at how the BBC’s widely celebrated Centenary promotional videos were made. They’ll also explore the challenges of extensive digitisation and its ongoing preservation. 

As technological change continues to sweep across all aspects of our lives, this session is a great opportunity to find out how the BBC Archive is refreshing its contribution to our cultural heritage, in support of our digital future.

Tickets include a complimentary glass of wine over which to continue the discussion in the bar afterward. Please note this event has now sold out but will be recorded. Join the waiting list to be notified when this is released. You will also be notified if physical places become available.
