BACKGROUND
BBC NI Digitisation project is a 3 year project (2017 -2020) which supports the wider BBC commitment to preserve and open up its archive and ensure that it can be used by the public and as wide a range of institutions and organisations as possible. Our newly digitised archive content was used to full effect during 2019, the anniversary of The Troubles. In future, through the BBC Rewind team and BBC Centenary productions, it is hoped that the general public will be able to search a complete cultural history of Northern Ireland from the 1950’s onwards.

METADATA
Working closely with our colleagues in BBC NI Technology, we found a method to match pre-existing archive metadata to newly digitised assets, creating an efficient and effective workflow.

QUALITY CONTROL AND DISPOSAL
We needed to digitise content to the most suitable codecs, considering quality and budget constraints.  In depth workflows were developed to check each file using technical equipment and "eyes and ears".  Working closely with BBC Archives to develop a means of testing the veracity of the newly digitised files can give our Senior Leadership Team the confidence to agree the disposal of over 100,000 video and audio carriers.
