3. BIRTH OF THE PRESTOCENTRE
NOT A LINEAIR EXPERIENCE
PrestoCentre’s collaboration model has not been a linear process. Its steps and
milestones have not followed each other in a plotable and predictable path
towards maturity. Rather, within each phase and across the life cycle of the
collaboration the work has been cyclical.

BUT A CYCLICAL COLLABORATION
PrestoCentre’s collaboration model has not been a linear process. Its steps and
milestones have not followed each other in a plotable and predictable path

5. HIGHLIGHT: CROSS TRANSFER BETWEEN COMMUNITIES
COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE
 AV communities based on a shared concern, a shared set of
problems and a common pursuit of technological solutions related
to the particular custodial practices and preservation challenges in
their principal sub-sector of audiovisual media.
 The communities, collectively and individually, provide a crucial
reference point and exchange environment for all of PrestoCentre’s
activities.

 Shifting mission towards innovation
 Provide perspective and horizon: tech watch, market watch, white papers,
reflection (communities), experiences (AV Insider), basic tools (library,
registers), conferences (StF), Preservathons, news updates
 “To help all AV archives thrive in the digital domain through:
 a deep understanding of the context in which they operate
