WHITEPAPER

The Clock Didn't Stop in
2025: The Ongoing
Audiovisual Digitisation
Emergency

Three forces have converged — media degradation, technology obsolescence, and disappearing expertise — are driving costs up and options down. Every year of delay narrows what remains possible.

This white paper examines the structural shifts reshaping audiovisual digitisation across the GLAM sector, broadcast, government, and corporate markets. It outlines what’s at stake, what the current window of opportunity looks like, and a practical seven-step framework for getting started.

Damaged or lost content cannot be recovered, licensed, accessed, or put to use. Once the original media is gone, so too are all the options it represents.
