Is this the last train for migration? And are we really sure of the destination?
Friday October 31, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am CET
Room 3
The spectre of obsolescence has been looming over audiovisual archives for many years, but is the end really imminent? Does it apply to all types of legacy formats? How can we objectively measure its progression and anticipate its impact? Does the problem end when everything turns to digital files?

The Preservation and Migration Commission of FIAT/IFTA organised an online seminar in June 2025 with the slightly provocative title "Is this the last train for migration?".

This session marks an opportunity to delve further into the subject by confronting the points of view of all parties involved, including archive owners, service providers and equipment manufacturers.
