Previous projects
PrestoPRIME continued a line of European work on audiovisual preservation and digital libraries.
The project built on the results of earlier European initiatives. The Presto family of projects, which began around 2000, developed a strong action on the preservation of audiovisual contents. PrestoSpace, which ran from 2004 to 2008, proposed tools and strategies for an integrated approach to the whole audiovisual preservation process. PrestoPRIME, which ran from 2009 to 2012, addressed strategies and solutions for keeping digital contents alive in the long term and initiated a Competence Centre for digital preservation.
