摘要

The following report, prepared by Richard Billeaud, co-organizer of the JTS in Paris, was submitted by Joelle Garcia, Chair of the Section on Audiovisual and Multimedia. A scientific and technical event that was organized for the first time in Stockholm in 1983, then in Berlin (1987), Ottawa (1990), and London (1995), the JTS gathers, at the initiative and with the support of UNESCO, the three international organizations involved in the preservation and restoration of original image and sound materials: Federation Internationale des Archives de Film (FIAF), International Federation of Television Archives (FIAT/IFTVA), International Association of Sound Archives (IASA), and the audiovisual-sub committees of ICA (International Council of Archives) and of IFLA. It is a platform for specialists of audiovisual, cinema and sound archives to share scientific and technical researches as well as practical experiences, in order to provide guidelines for action for curators, technicians, researchers, and others. The 5th JTS Paris 2000 was organized by CNC (Centre National de la Cinematographie) assisted by CST (Commission Superieure Technique de l'Image et du Son), with the collaboration of INA (Institut National de l'Audiovisuel) and BnF (Bibliotheque nationale de France), and in association with institutions such as AMIA (Association of Moving Image Archivists), the ARCHIMEDIA network, ARSAG (Association pour la Recherche Scientifique sur les Arts Graphiques), BKSTS (British Kinematograph, Sound and Television Society), and the GAMMA group. The subject of the JTS Paris 2000 "Image and Sound Archiving and Access: the challenges of the 3rd Millennium" clearly focused on the implications and the evolutions introduced by the new digital and Internet environments for the preservation of moving images and sounds activities and strategies.
