Business Planning for a New Audiovisual Archive
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s Scholarly Communications Program awarded a $48,500 grant to develop a business plan for an online service that will provide greater educational access to digital archival moving image content.
The Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA) served as fiscal sponsor of the grant. The business plan investigated possible business models for creating a service that will provide solutions for the primary challenges facing the use of audiovisual content in educational environments today. Research and stakeholder interviews took place in 2008, and preliminary results were presented at the AMIA annual conference in November 2008.
