Share that Knowledge!

Finding Strategies for Passing on Knowledge Across Generations of Audiovisual Archivists


The project "Share that Knowledge! Finding Strategies for Passing on Knowledge Across Generations of Audiovisual Archivists" aimed to research and develop strategies and methods of unlocking, articulating, and sustaining the knowledge that audiovisual archivists hold about the collections they work with. Through research, presentations, and publications, the project connected existing ideas and fostered discussion about the topic of knowledge transfer within the field of audiovisual archiving.

A working group consisting of colleagues from 13 audiovisual archives around the world, used qualitative research methods to study knowledge transfer within their organizations. They looked at which knowledge is endangered, what the main challenges are in passing on this knowledge, and which methods of sharing knowledge are already being used.

The outcome of the project is a publication, in which concrete methods and tools for knowledge transfer within audiovisual archives are described. An online presentation on November 22, 2023 gave an overview of the research that has been done, presented the findings, and the book.

An initiave of the Austrian Film Museum and the Slovenska kinoteka.
