• The National Audiovisual Institute (INA)

INA has been present since the inception of the project. More than 500 digitized copies of television, radio and cinema archives have been entrusted to the Center. Regular support has been provided, both in terms of personnel (training of research analysts), and in terms of archives (researchers and librarians have been made available). INA has also taken responsibility for developing the database, an indispensable instrument for archiving data and for making them accessible to the public. More recently, INA gave the Center copies in Mpeg2 format, of sufficient quality to broadcast the archives in a large screen format.
