Abstract
Training is at the heart of the European TAPE project. The project is directed at cultural and research institutions that (also) hold audiovisual materials, as a minority collection in what are usually largely paper-based holdings. TAPE’s training programme includes European workshops (in English) as well as national/regional events (in national languages). Since the start of the project already ten workshops took place, and more will follow.
