    The British Library has held two Unlocking Audio conferences relating to sound digitisation. The first, in 2007, was on Sharing Experience of Mass Digitisation and explored the planning and strategies required for the successful execution of large-scale audio digitisation projects, and the technical and practical issues involved. The second, Connecting with Listeners was held in 2009 and looked at the use of sounds online and ways that researchers and other audiences expect to discover, browse, audition and analyse archival audio resources. This website provides the full conference programmes and audio/video recordings of selected contributions to the debate.

    The European Film Gateway is a 3-year project which started on 1st September 2008. It is developing an online portal, providing direct access to about 790,000 digital objects including films, photos, posters, drawings, sound material and text documents. Content will be provided mostly by film archives and cinémathèques, which are partners in the project. The collections to be made accessible have been selected to serve as a sample representing the actual digitised content held in the film institutions. The European Film Gateway will be linked to the Europeanaportal, which is creating the European digital library, museum and archive, providing integrated access to digital treasures from museums, archives, audio-visual archives and libraries of Europe. By making its archival content available through the common interface of Europeana, EFG will contribute to fulfilling one of the major promises of an integrated digital environment: enabling users to search and retrieve different media via a single access point.

They all have a good number of chapters and a fair amount of information is given on the site as well as transcripts and links to related materials.
    The content can also be browsed via the tab Watch which contains four groupings: All Past Lectures, Series, Shorts and Short Series.
