Most of film archival material is originally written on analogue film tape. Digitization is a process of converting or transcribing analogue signal into a digital code and is for the time being one of the most efficient ways of preserving contents recorded on film tapes. Digitization enables long-term preservation of film archival records as well as usability of such records in contemporary digital environment. The optimum time for digitization of the original analogue film tape is when the content recorded on the tape is still well-preserved. It is also imperative that enough is known about the film tape itself, which enables us to prepare it for image and sound capture. The article describes the individual stages involved in film tape digitization: preparation of the original materials, capture of image and sound, control, processing, and submitting of digital film archival material to archivists in charge of entering it into databases. The article describes digitization process as it is conducted since 2020 at the Slovenian Film Archives.
