Abstract

Research on digital video libraries has been done in extensive and expensive projects (e.g. Open Video Project [1], Físchlár [2], Informedia [3]). Small video collections have small budgets and cannot afford sophisticated techniques to put their material on-line. Though very basic digital video library features can be good enough for enlarging the access to rarely seen material, e.g. folklore films from the 1920’s to the 1990’s owned by the National Centre for English Cultural Tradition (NATCECT). This material is unique but rarely used as the archive opens few hours a week: digital access would make it widely available to scholars, students, and enthusiasts.
