Documentation & annual reports

As guardian of the Dutch film heritage, Eye Filmmuseum has the duty to guarantee the long-term preservation of both its analogue and its digital collections, and to ensure that they remain accessible to users. Eye aims to make its policy and practice transparent and measurable. It is for this reason that Eye has decided to apply for CoreTrustSeal certification of its digital film archive. The CoreTrustSeal certificate covers various areas: organisation, technology, processes, procedures, documentation, finance, legal aspects and personnel. Obtaining certification by meeting the guidelines set by CoreTrustSeal demonstrates that the repository is a reliable, digitally sustainable and accessible archive. The policy document 'The digital film archive at Eye Filmmuseum' (2022) outlines Eye's policy with regard to digital sustainability. This document supplements Eye’s Collection Policy Plan. A part of the documentation to which reference is made in the CoreTrustSeal application is publicly available below:
