Images for the Future presents Economies of the Commons 3 – Sustainable Futures for Digital Archives. This third ‘eCommons’ international conference will be the biggest yet with two streams of extraordinary keynotes, presentations, hands-on workshops and plenty of networking. Economies of the Commons 3 – Sustainable Futures for Digital Archives ('eCommons 3') serves all who look for visionary, theoretical and hands-on practical know how on the current challenges and the future of archives.

Program & Speakers

eCommons 3 explores two themes:

1/ The Challenge of Large Numbers: preservation, digitisation and presentation of film, audio, video and photography: lessons learned in the Images for the Future project.

2/ The Future of Archives: in two sessions ('The Economies of Sharing' and 'Re-Imagining the Archive') we examine the new role of digital and on-line rich media collections as active public resources, and we discuss new models to sustain them into the future.

These themes will be explored in two separate tracks. Please see the full program here:
