Current Training Courses

We have a particular commitment to the dissemination of audiovisual conservation and restoration techniques among friends, colleagues, scholars, students and any interested person.

We also invest a large amount of time and money in open-source projects, which we believe are beneficial for the archival community.

That said, we are very unhappy that our generosity is often betrayed, as many of our materials are distributed without naming their origin. Increasingly, others are even shamelessly claiming authorship of our work, which is just disgusting behaviour. And that’s the very reason why some resources are no longer freely available, but have been moved to a password-protected area.
