Dear Colleagues
UNESCO releases Digital archiving of audio content using WINISIS and Greenstone
software: a manual for community radio managers
UNESCO Office in New Delhi has published Digital archiving of audio content
using WINISIS and Greenstone software: a manual for community radio managers.
This self-instructional handbook is aimed at helping managers of community and
FM radio stations, public service broadcasting agencies and any other
organizations that deal with audio files create prototype archives of digital
audio documents.
Free and open source software (FOSS) helps digital inclusion of citizens in
developing countries through easy-to-get and socially useful applications.
UNESCO's information processing tools assist many grassroots institutions in
disseminating information to local communities. Digital archive of a community
radio station can be a knowledge repository containing collective wisdom of
indigenous people, as well as of regional communities and institutions.
The South Asian sub-region is now at the nascent stage of community radio
development, with the introduction of policy frameworks in India, Nepal and
other countries. Community radio has a great development potential across the
sub-region with ever increasing number of community radio stations. To maintain
an archive of broadcasted contents is a legal obligation as a self-regulatory
mechanism, however many stations are not equipped for doing this.. Moreover,
community radio stations often need to re-use and re-broadcast many of their
archived contents.
This new publication is a reliable manual for digital archiving of multimedia
contents, with special focus on community radio contents. Its users will find
it helpful in their every-day work. The publication has its genesis in the
recommendations and proceedings of two events, supported by UNESCO: National
Consultation on Community Radio for Practising and Potential Community Radio
Operators in India and National Consultation to Review Community Radio in
Nepal, during which community radio station managers stressed the importance of
archiving digital audio contents.
In line with the needs of the community, the manual guides users in creating
their own archives with stable, free software like WINISIS, GenISIS and
Greenstone. The book also provides the URL addresses from where this software
can be downloaded.
The manual can be downloaded here:
