Abstract

Easy access to large information collections is of great importance in many aspects of everyday life. However, limitations in information and communication technologies have so far prevented the average person from taking much advantage of existing resources. Historical documentaries held by national archives constitute some of the most precious yet least accessible cultural information. The ECHO project has facilitated accessibility to this type of precious information by developing a digital library (DL) service for historical films belonging to large national audiovisual archives.
