The Danish public service broadcaster DR has produced radio for more than 100 years and television for 75 years, and has over time also created hundreds of thousands of promotional photographs. Until around 2005, almost all production was saved on physical carriers. As in many other broadcasting organisations, a large part of last century’s output was either transmitted live only or recorded on carriers that were later reused. As a result, many broadcasts from the early decades no longer exist.
Despite this, DR’s physical archive today still comprises around 500,000 individual items. Over the past 25 years, DR has carried out extensive digitisation projects, so that the digital archive now includes not only the born-digital production of the last quarter century, but also substantial amounts of content from the previous century.
In this session, we would like to invite you behind the scenes in DR’s physical archives and give a brief introduction to our major digitisation initiatives and to the scope and structure of our digital archive.
