Watch and reuse

All conferences organised by OIMAP are archived. Each record brings together the video recording, the presentations, the summary report and, once published, the proceedings. The archives go back to 2010 and cover several hundred meetings.
They are intended for researchers, trainers, journalists and any professional wishing to explore a subject in depth.
The complete collections are on the proceedings page. For upcoming dates, see the upcoming conferences.

Search for a conference
The archives can be browsed by year, theme, speaker or keyword. The filters make it possible, for example, to find the conferences devoted to restitution or digital certification.
Each result shows the date, the venue, the length of the video and the documents available.



Contents of a record
A record includes the summary of the conference, the list of speakers with their biographies, the full video or one divided by session, the presentation materials and the summary report.
The most viewed excerpts are highlighted: they offer a quick introduction to a subject for non-specialists.
Some landmark conferences
Several conferences have shaped the Organization's action: the one that prepared the 2019 guidelines, the one that presented the first digital registry, and the one on the traceability of works sold online.
These meetings are regularly cited in the OIMAP Review and used in the modules of the Academy.
Reuse rights
The recordings may be viewed free of charge. Their reuse for editorial or educational purposes is permitted with acknowledgement of the source. Commercial use requires the prior consent of the media library service.
Speakers' presentations remain their property; their consent is required for any distribution beyond consultation.
