Images for the Future presents Economies of the Commons 3 – Sustainable
Futures for Digital Archives. This third ‘eCommons’ international
conference will be the biggest yet with two streams of extraordinary
keynotes, presentations, hands-on workshops and plenty of networking.
Economies of the Commons 3 ('eCommons 3') serves all who look for
visionary, theoretical and hands-on practical know how on the current
challenges and the future of archives. *
*
*Program & Speakers*
eCommons 3 explores two themes:

*1/ The Challenge of Large Numbers:* preservation, digitization and
presentation of film, audio, video and photography: lessons learned in the
Images for the Future project.

*2/ The Future of Archives:* in two sessions ('The Economies of Sharing'
and 'Re-Imagining the Archive') we examine the new role of digital and
on-line rich media collections as active public resources, and we discuss
new models to sustain them into the future.

These themes will be explored in two seperate tracks. Please see the full
