The team collects materials that highlight the resistance of the civilian population to the aggressor, destruction, violence and other crimes committed by the Russian army on the territory of Ukraine. As well as materials about life and life during the war, evacuation, stay in bomb shelters and other experiences of Ukrainians/-ok.
The War Archive has an ambitious goal — not only to become a repository of digital files documenting a full-scale invasion, but also to become an extensive repository of storage locations for various types of media and analytics.
For photographers, the platform offers the possibility to place their materials in the Archives of War and/or to hold joint events, training, exchange of expertise, etc.
We talked about how the archive works, details about copyright and cooperation between photographers and the Archive on closed air for the community, which we provide to the community on request in private messages.
Among the key questions from photographers were:
- Is the photographer informed that his photos are used by partners or that they are passed on for testimony?
Users of the Archive of War are only entitled to view the materials. If the partner wants to use the photo files in his research, then in this case we must link him with the copyright holder of the materials for further agreements between them.
- Does the photographer sign a contract or an agreement on the transfer of source files for the Archive?
Yes, we must sign a cooperation agreement and an act of acceptance and transfer upon receipt of each batch of materials. The Act specifies the technical description of the materials, the level of access and the method of transfer.
- For how long can I provide video materials?
Materials are transferred to the Archive for an indefinite period. However, if the copyright holder decides to remove his materials for any reason in the future, we will do so.
- Do the original files need to be uncolored or can the processed files be sent?
First of all, we collect the source files that have not been processed. This way they retain their authenticity and original metadata, which is important in courts and when proving crimes. However, if you only have processed files, then they will still be useful, you can send them to us.
- If the photo or video has already been sent to an international agency?
You need to review the conditions under which you submitted your materials to an international or Ukrainian company/organization. If you have the right to use these materials, then you can send them to us. It is not a priority for us whether your materials are stored exclusively with us or not.
For big data, analytics and tagging, mapping, and finding relationships, seevideo presentationhosted by the Archive team as part of the Docudays UA festival.
