Video Active (European Research Project)

Video Active is a three year (2006-2009) research project funded by the eContentPlus programme of the European Commission. It aims to create access to television archives across Europe. The unlocking of these (largely) closed archives will make their content freely available for educational and academic purposes, on a large-scale international basis, enabling an interactive discovery of television’s cultural heritage.

The project will achieve this by selecting 10,000 items television archive content, which reflects the cultural and historical similarities and differences of television from across the European Union, and by complementing this archive content with well-defined contextual metadata. Video Active therefore offers an enormous resource for exploring both the representation of cultural and historical events within and across nations and the development of the medium itself at a cross-cultural level.
