The art of digitising war How the Imperial War Museum updates, stores and protects the records of our past conflicts

[PeterK]

Founded in 1917 amidst the chaos of the first world war, part of the organisation's remit is cataloguing the vast amounts of documentary video footage produced during the conflict. It was one of the first major international wars substantially captured in film, and because much of this footage was shot on highly unstable nitrate-based celluloid film, digitising and preserving it has become one of the museum's major activities.
