Abstract

Recently, there has been an increasing amount of digital archiving projects. Among these, national broadcasting organisations have begun offering digital content free to the public. The amount of digitalised information is increasing, though no one seems to be able to answer the question of how the information should be archived in order to be beneficial in the future? Given the financial cost and legal practices such as copyright, digitalisation has been discussed and addressed from various angles; however, organisations still don't appear to focus on the end users, the distribution or how the public can benefit from a new type of archive.

This paper explores different problems and ideas when developing new digital archive platforms with the purpose of making national broadcasting organisations' cultural content available to the public. Furthermore, we discuss methods of making information accessible and useful in terms of the characteristics digital media possesses. Finally, we call for new methods and approaches to the creation of user inspired digital archives, and the need for innovation in the standards of digital archiving related to public service.
