In this workshop, Hannah Ishmael (Black Cultural Archives, Collections and Research Manager), Mark Duguid (British Film Institute, Senior Curator), and Jake Berger (BBC Executive Product Manager, BBC Archive), will discuss current challenges and opportunities for public archives such as the BCA, BFI and the BBC. The panel will address questions such as:

• What to digitise? (selection and curation process) and,
• What are the implications of digitisation for public engagement and impact
