Issue

In June 2014, PACKED vzw organised an event together with Het Firmament on the occasion of the launch of the TRACKS toolbox. Various artists and arts organisations from Brussels and Flanders attended.<reference>Read the report here: http://projecttracks.be/nl/nieuws/intern/item/verslag-lancering-tracks-website-op-18-juni</reference> This event made BRONKS think about their archiving strategy. It became clear to them that a good, structured approach was necessary. BRONKS wanted to create a lasting archive, but didn’t know how best to do it. Was it already being done properly? How could it be improved in the future?

In addition, Oda Van Neygen, artistic director and founder of BRONKS, was retiring in October 2014. She was the person who until then had taken care of the archive. With her departure a great deal of the knowledge about the archive and also about BRONKS itself would disappear.

BRONKS was looking for a way to resolve this problem. So they contacted PACKED vzw in July 2014 and asked them to provide information about the importance, approach and possible steps in the area of archive management. The organisation wanted to create a good archiving structure. Het Firmament and AMVB were also asked to get involved because of their expertise and geographical focus.
