In this report, we look back at SIRDUKE, the project in which damaged lacquer disks were optically digitised, to save the audio recordings. For this project, which ran from November 2020 to October 2021, we worked together with Gecko, VRT and INA.

The first phase of SCALA, the pilot project on sustainable storage for digital private law archives, is complete. To conclude the project and create a starting point for the next phase, the AIDA network (the nine institutions behind SCALA) organised a focus day on 26 April to share ideas about archiving and preserving born-digital archives and collections. Here is the report.

We receive more and more helpdesk requests in our virtual letterbox every year. In 2020, we counted almost 300 requests for advice from over 150 different people and organisations.

In 2013, meemoo chose MXF as a container and JPEG2000 as an encoding for our archive masters, together with content partners from the heritage sector. The technological development of audiovisual codecs does not stand still and the development and possible standardisation of FFv1 and MKV are interesting evolutions. In this blogpost we explain the results of an exploratory study about MKV and FFv1 which meemoo carried out in the margins of the Preforma project together with Packed vzw and Media Area.

Statistics and notes on the reformatting of jpeg2000/mxf files to other preservation and access formats in the meemoo archive.

In this report, we look back on the project relating to a common thesaurus carried out by the Dutch Institute for Sound and Vision and meemoo. Between September 2015 and June 2016, this project was carried out with financing from the Dutch Language Union. This report is available in dutch only.

Over the course of 2013 and 2014, this study was carried out in collaboration with iMinds (now imec) and a number of players in the heritage and culture sector. This report is available in dutch only.

Meemoo was a partner during the exploratory study of 'Depositing digital publications from Flanders’ by the Flemish Heritage Library.
