The Digital Centre ARCHiVe of Fondazione Giorgio Cini, in collaboration with the Centro di Sonologia Computazionale (CSC) of the Department of Information Engineering (DEI) at the University of Padua, is presenting Countering the Eclipse of Sound Memories: Workshop on the Digitisation and Preservation of Audio Documents, a workshop dedicated to scientific methodologies, technologies and international standards for the restoration, active preservation and digitisation of audio documents.

This three-day intensive programme on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore will introduce participants to the historical and technical aspects of sound carriers, the principles of audio preservation, and the methodologies for their digitisation and restoration. Combining lectures and hands-on sessions, the workshop will cover the preparation and repair of media, analogue-to-digital conversion techniques, metadata creation, and best practices for long-term digital preservation.

Through a learning-by-doing approach, participants will engage directly with equipment and workflows, gaining both theoretical and practical skills in the digitisation and safeguarding of audio heritage.

The workshop is open to a selected group of participants (students and professionals from various backgrounds) who will have the opportunity to learn and interact directly with the CSC team.
Accommodation for two nights at the Vittore Branca Centre Residence on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore, lunch on the first day, and an ACTV pass for travel within the lagoon for the duration of the workshop are included in the participation fee.
A certificate of attendance will be issued at the end of the workshop.
