项目摘要

Our project, "The Invisible Women - Developing a Feminist Approach to Film Archive Metadata and Cataloguing" intends to explore how film archives can take practical action to update, enhance and improve catalogue metadata via feminist research methodologies. By using this approach, we will reveal the hidden heritage related to women's creativity.Digital metadata and catalogue records are a crucial element of how different archives represent the collections and materials they hold. Recent research has shown how existing assumptions can lead to key absences within data sets, with different groups being overlooked and hidden, including women. Within film archives records and cataloguing guidelines, for instance, international metadata schemas make women's contributions invisible by not identifying the gender of individuals. The absence of a feminist-informed approach to digital curation within existing film archive metadata systems has meant that women's creative labour is not fully acknowledged within catalogue records, which can lead to their creativity being invisible within national and regional film collections.This project expands out from a pilot study of catalogue records from six UK regional archives conducted in 2019 which revealed the current paucity of detailed catalogue metadata relating to women filmmakers. Working with film archives, many of which are aware of the practical difficulties in converting a commitment to women filmmakers into practical actions and the limitations of recognised archival standards, wee will focus on two key aspects: a) Offering practical interventions to qualify and expand existing and new metadata within film archives (and other archival practices)b) Exploring the cataloguing of women amateur filmmakers across two national collections: the Institute of Amateur Cinematographers at the East Anglian Film Archive (EAFA) and the collections of the IFI Irish Film Archive (IIFA).Women's filmmaking labour has been historically underrepresented and unacknowledged, in the world of film archives as much as in other aspects of creative work and cultural heritage. We will focus here on women within amateur filmmaking - an alternative arena of creative production that has given voice to women's creativity, interests, and concerns for almost a century. Yet amateur films have been a low priority for cataloguing or digitisation, which means there is limited metadata relating to the women filmmakers involved: records that tend to reduce or overlook women's creative labour, particularly in multiple-authored work.By combining a focus on hidden women's creativity, the world of the women amateur filmmakers in the UK and Ireland, and the practical steps that archives can take to deepen and enrich existing and new catalogue metadata, we intend to make visible what is currently invisible. This will include creating newly digitised films by these innovative women, offering fuller catalogue records, and the practical application of our research with our partners EAFA and IIFA.

我们的项目“无形的女性 - 开发一种女性主义方法来拍摄档案元数据和分类”，旨在探讨电影档案如何通过女权主义研究方法采取实际行动来采取实际行动来更新，增强和改善目录的元数据。通过使用这种方法，我们将揭示与妇女创造力相关的隐藏遗产。数字元数据和目录记录是不同档案代表其持有的收藏和材料的关键要素。最近的研究表明，现有的假设如何导致数据集中的关键缺失，包括女性在内的不同群体被忽视和隐藏。例如，在电影档案记录和编目指南中，国际元数据模式使妇女的贡献通过不识别个人的性别而看不见。在现有电影档案元数据系统中，缺乏女权主义信息的数字策划方法意味着，在目录记录中，女性的创造力并未完全认可，这可能会导致其在国家和地区电影集合中看不见其创造力。从2019年进行的六个英国地区档案的目录记录进行试点研究中，该记录揭示了目前与女性电影制片人有关的详细目录元数据的稀少。使用电影档案，其中许多人意识到将对女性电影制片人的承诺转化为实际行动和公认档案标准的局限性的实际困难，WEE将重点介绍两个关键方面：电影档案中的新元数据（和其他档案实践）b）探索两个国家系列中的女性业余电影制片人的编目：东英吉利电影档案馆（EAFA）的业余摄影师研究所（EAFA）和ifi Irish电影档案馆（EAFA）（ IIFA）。在电影档案馆的世界中，妇女的电影制作劳动在历史上的代表性不足和未被承认，就像在创意作品和文化遗产的其他方面一样。我们将在这里专注于业余电影制作中的女性，这是一个替代创意生产的舞台，它使妇女的创造力，兴趣和近一个世纪的关注表达了声音。然而，业余电影是对编目或数字化的优先级，这意味着与涉及的女性电影制片人有关的元数据有限：往往会减少或忽略女性创造性劳动的唱片，尤其是在多作者的工作中。将重点放在隐藏上的重点妇女的创造力，英国和爱尔兰的女性业余电影制片人的世界，以及档案可以采取的实用步骤，以加深和丰富现有和新的目录元数据，我们打算使当前不可见的东西可见。这将包括这些创新妇女创作新的数字化电影，提供Fuller目录记录，以及我们与合作伙伴EAFA和IIFA的研究实际应用。
