A huge percentage of the recent European cultural heritage (CH) can be found in movies, photographies, posters and slides produced between 1895 and 1970 were made using cellulose derivates. More than 75 years of visual and audio memories are in serious danger to be lost due to the natural instability cellulose acetate (CA) and Cellulose nitrate (CN) materials. These physical media have helped to preserve the cultural material that is a real witness of socio-cultural European evolution in the recent era. It encompasses the possibility to understand the development of new arts such as cinema, photography or graphic arts and also the preservation of the socio-cultural memories of citizens located in major and local museums worldwide. Conservators consider two approaches when planning treatments to extend the useful lifetime of cultural materials: preventive or passive and active or interventive. But in case of cellulose derivates and other components of the movie or photos, once initiated, degradation cannot be prevented, reversed or stopped, but only inhibited or slowed. Inhibitive conservation of cellulose derivates can either involve the removal or reduction of factors causing degradation including light, oxygen, acids, fungus and relative humidity among others, as well as cost-sensitive processes such as freeze. NEMOSINE improves the traditional storage solutions, such as freeze storage (below 5ºC), by developing an innovative package with the main goal of energy saving and extent conservation time. NEMOSINE will develop: i) High O2 barrier and Active packaging using non-odour additives, ii) Active acid adsorbers based on functionalized Metal Organic Framework (MOFs) integrated in innovative structures, iii) Gas detection sensors to monitoring AA, O2 & NO, iv) Multi-scale modelling to correlate degradation & sensors signals, v)Packaging with modular design to fulfil the technical & economical requirements of the different CH made by cellulose derivates.

"Тhe project Mobile Digitizing (MobiDig) was intended to train librarians, managers of small organizations and VET providers in the sphere of Library Studies how to establish their own low-cost digitizing facilities and maintain the data. The project provided online VET resources for mobile/low-cost digitizing. The project products have not been uploaded in the Erasmus+ project results platform because of a technical problem, we have notified the National Agency (HRDC) about that. The technical problem in the platform (for that project) existed for weeks before the final report date and it is still not solved.Context:The REPORT on the Implementation of Commission Recommendation 2011/711/EU (2011-2013) described the digitization in Europe as fragmented, inefficient, low metadata quality, unclear quality indicators for digitizing activities and lack of connectivity between data-bases, low online representation of digital resources. Additionally, international surveys showed a low level of digitization in small libraries and archives, lack of cooperation between big and small organizations. In many local libraries there were valuable items which needed digitization - local newspapers, archives, important local books. However, the idea of bringing those items for digitization in big libraries was unpractical. As recent practices have showed, a better solution could be setting up low-cost digitizing installations in smaller organizations. The advantage of these systems was that they could be easily moved close to the books, transported ""in a bag"" from one place to another. The project objectives were to: - train librarians/archivists in small organizations and VET teachers in setting up low-cost digitizing services; - train librarians from big libraries/archives etc. how to support small organizations to establish low-cost digitizing services;- train the target group to use open educational resources and open-source code software in digitizing, data processing etc.; - provide online VET resources (LMS, digital movies) manual, open-source code tools suitable for low-cost digitizing, that could be used in formal/nonformal education; - provide a model for digitization decentralisation Target group: - librarians, archivists, managers in small libraries/archives/community centers/monasteries; - librarians, archivists and managers in bigger libraries/archives/community centers/monasteries, willing to support smaller institutions in implementing digitization; - VET teachers/trainers providing education/training in the sphere of Library and Archive Studies Staff in small libraries, archives, community centers and monasteries have usually acquired VET qualification ""librarian"". In this respect their knowledge, skills and competence resided in VET. Directly involved participants: more than 250; Indirectly involved: more than 1400 Activities included: - project management (inc. quality assurance and evaluation); - 7 training modules related to the new tendencies in digitizing, 7 short digital training movies to illustrate them; LMS with the 7 modules and a Manual which is available on paper and in pdf format; - short-term joint staff training;- piloting activities; - dissemination. Methodology:incorporated necessary design, testing, production, implementation, exploitation and sustainability phases. Activities were scheduled to allow for essential reflection and inputs both by the consortium partners and target groups. Main results: 1. 7 training modules on topics: Main steps in digitizing written heritage;Selection of documents to be digitized; Digitization hardware and software; Developing low-cost digitizing installations in small libraries, archives, community centres; Approaches in training managers of libraries/archives etc. and their staffs how to implement digitization in their organizations; Digitization and copyrights. 2. 7 short digital training movies to illustrate each training module - were integrated in each of the respective modules in the LMS. The idea was to use the full potential of ICT and modern media and provide the target group with as much visual and practical learning materials as possible. 3. LMS with 7 training modules: primarily for self-study. Anyone was able to quickly access them at any time and choose their own learning paths depending on their needs. It could be used for guided training too - bigger libraries could use them to train smaller ones, VET schools and other organizations could add them as an integrated part of a wider “cultural heritage preservation” subject, or as an extracurricular one. 4. Manual ""Mobile digitizing and new tendencies in digitizing written heritage by small libraries, archives and alike"" - adapted training modules and additional materials in a printed book with one additional chapter on how to use LMS. Impact: Increased target group competencies in digital transformation of written heritage through mobile digitization."
