There are now a significant number of projects in the UK which are creating digitised collections, digital archives and online databases dealing with various aspects of artists' film and video, and together they span the disciplines of film studies, visual arts and performance. Key among these are:1. The British Artists' Film & Video Study Collection (based at Central St Martins College of Art & Design)2. REWIND: Artists' Video in the 70s & 80s (based at University of Dundee)3. Data basing key documents and narrative chronologies of artists' film and video distributors in the UK (based at University of Sunderland)4. Capturing the past, preserving the future: digitisation of the National Review of Live Art video collection (based at University of Bristol)5. Computer Art Context History Etc. (CACHe) (based at Birkbeck University of London)6. Luxonline (based at the Lux, London)7. Screenonline (based at the British Film Institute, London)8. lniVA -Institute of International Visual Arts (London)These resources are invaluable since they make available material that has been previously difficult to access. However, although these projects share important points of connection, there is as yet no infrastructure which links them and their online resources together in order to develop their potential synergies and uses.The research network will bring together representatives from these projects and initiatives, together with representatives from the Arts Council England, the British Film Institute and the Tate, and advisers from the AHDS and the AHRC ICT Methods Network, in order to address two key issues: (a) ;curing the future of these resources- as a network of sustainable resources- beyond any project specific funding, and (b) maximising both their; ability to and use by researchers both inside and outside the academy. It will do this by holding 4 workshops for the core members of the network where ideas and strategies can be brainstormed /discussed to address these two key issues, and their implementation planned. In addition, the network will host two 'open' workshops to disseminate these findings to/solicit feedback from a wider audience and to open discussions with other related UK based projects and similar database/digital archiving initiatives in mainland Europe with which it would be beneficial to make links.

现在英国有大量的项目正在创建数字化收藏，数字档案和在线数据库，处理艺术家电影和视频的各个方面，它们共同跨越电影研究，视觉艺术和表演的学科。其中的关键是：1.英国艺术家的电影和视频研究收藏（基于中央圣马丁艺术与设计学院）2。倒带：艺术家的视频在70年代和80年代（基于邓迪大学）3。数据基础的关键文件和叙事年表的艺术家的电影和视频分销商在英国（基于桑德兰大学）4。捕捉过去，保护未来：现场艺术视频收藏的国家评论的数字化（基于布里斯托大学）5。计算机艺术背景历史等（CACHe）（位于伦敦伯克贝克大学）6。Luxonline（总部位于伦敦的Lux）7. Screenonline（总部设在英国电影学院，伦敦）8. lniVA -国际视觉艺术研究所（伦敦）这些资源非常宝贵，因为它们提供了以前难以获取的材料。然而，尽管这些项目有着共同的重要联系点，但目前还没有基础设施将它们和它们的在线资源联系在一起，以发挥其潜在的协同作用和用途。研究网络将汇集这些项目和倡议的代表，以及来自英格兰艺术理事会、英国电影学院和泰特美术馆的代表，AHDS和AHRC ICT方法网络的专家和顾问，以解决两个关键问题：（a）治愈这些资源的未来-作为一个可持续资源网络-超越任何项目具体资金，（B）最大限度地提高他们的能力，并为学院内外的研究人员所使用。为此，它将为网络核心成员举办4次讲习班，集思广益/讨论解决这两个关键问题的想法和战略，并计划实施。此外，该网络将举办两次“开放式”研讨会，向更广泛的受众传播这些研究结果/征求反馈意见，并与其他相关的英国项目和欧洲大陆的类似数据库/数字存档倡议展开讨论，与这些项目建立联系将是有益的。
