Image, Video & Audio

Some of the biggest challenges, but also some of the most significant rewards, can be had in dealing with still and moving images, and sound, in digital form. A variety of JISC projects and services deal with such multimedia. Some give advice on creating, delivering and preserving such digital material, whilst others present a range of digitised collections that give the community access to high-quality films, newsreels, images, photographs and audio recordings for use in research and teaching.
