This conference is organised in collaboration between Photoconsortium – International Consortium for Photographic Heritage and coordinator of the EUreka3D-XR project, and the prestigious Historical Archives of the European Union, the single, official repository for the historical documents of the institutions, bodies and agencies of the European Union, preserving and making available archival documents of EU institutions and private collections of European personalities, key politicians, movements and associations.
The event's three panels on heritage, technology and innovation aim to foster dialogue among public and private stakeholders involved in the preservation, management and valorisation of photographic collections, also looking at how new technologies impact the workflow of heritage professionals. Panelists and participants will have the opportunity to reflect on the challenges and opportunities of photographic information in the digital age. The conference also aims to strengthen professional networks and promote exchange across institutions and fields of expertise.
