Open Archives Roundtable


The COVID-19 crisis has impacted public service media in many ways. Archives, well integrated in the production workflows, have been playing an important part in programme making and continuity.

In this informal roundtable we discussed Archives in a wider context. We looked at the challenges that need to be overcome to allow even more exploitation of content. EBU Members, including the BBC, BR and RAI, shared their experiences in using their archives.

Sharing practices

- What is the current use of archives during the COVID-19 crisis?
- What are the most critical issues faced by EBU Members in opening up their archives for the public?
- Learnings and best practices.
