Description du projet
Les films sur l’Holocauste réalisés par les alliés ouvrent la voie à la conservation numérique du patrimoine culturel
Il est des images que l’on n’oublie jamais. La numérisation permet d’étudier la manière dont les images historiques, en particulier les images en mouvement, façonnent notre perception du passé. Elle ouvre également la voie à des façons innovantes de les conserver et les relier à d’autres archives historiques faisant référence aux mêmes événements. À mesure que nous nous approchons des huit décennies nous séparant de la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et de l’Holocauste, le projet Visual History of the Holocaust, financé par l’UE, se concentre sur la conservation numérique des pellicules liées à la découverte des camps de concentration nazis et d’autres sites qui ont été le théâtre d’atrocités. Les techniques mises au point dans le cadre du projet pourront s’appliquer à de nombreux autres domaines, notamment la recherche, l’éducation et les médias.
Objectif
The Holocaust is a central reference point for European history and a ‘negative founding myth’ of European integration. VHH is an innovation action that focuses on the digital curation and preservation of film records relating to the discovery of Nazi concentration camps and other atrocity sites. We combine state-of-the-art concepts and practices from information science, museum pedagogy and digital storytelling to design a new approach for the engagement with a significant aspect of European audio-visual heritage. While the majority of these film records are in the public domain as they were produced by Allied military personnel on government order, hardly any of them are available in digital formats fit for the purposes of technology enabled research, analysis, and curatorial re-use. Building on the advanced digitisation of a relevant selection of these materials VHH will develop new methods in digital curation and apply sophisticated technologies to the analysis and time-based annotation of these historical materials. Filmic records will be dynamically linked with photographs, audio, and texts in order to discover and unlock layers of context and meaning inaccessible through traditional linear narrative modes of dissemination. Our aim is to develop a ground-breaking inclusive concept of digital curation to innovate curatorial work with digitised film and media collections and to create best practice models and tool kits for advanced digitisation, automated analysis, linking of different media types, and the linking of tangible and intangible assets. VHH will develop new forms of learning experiences and user interaction with the digital data and the stories contained in it. We will curate a discrete set of engagement levels to facilitate users’ engagement and co-creation. The resulting prototype applications will deliver new impulses to a range of industry sectors in education, museums, libraries and archives, cultural tourism and the content industries.
