Translations:Het identificeren en beschrijven van audiovisueel materiaal/4/en

It is important to first describe your audiovisual content – also if you're digitising it – for its continued storage and management. This gives you a better overview of your audiovisual collection and its most important or valuable items. This article clearly explains how archive and collection managers who don't specialise in audiovisual content can describe their content in a simple yet effective way. Describing the content also allows you to assess the personal or heritage value of parts of your archive and collections, make informed decisions about what and how you want to store something moving forward, and determine what you might want to digitise.
