‘Digital Trust’ is closely aligned to Digital Transformation. Media archives depend on the transformative effects of digital innovations to help drive them into the third decade of this century. But trust and trustworthiness are fragile entities. Digital Transformation at the NFSA is not so much about transformation from analogue to digital; rather, it is about evolution from a first generation, hybrid analogue/digital media archive to a trustworthy archive that is digital by design. ‘Analogue’ and ‘digital’ are not mutually exclusive or opposing forces. The NFSA’s physical collections, the onsite and online exhibitions, programs, events but also its values, culture and even the building are an integral part of the digitalisation of the NFSA. In this presentation I will highlight the principles of how the NFSA has embraced digital and becomes ‘digital by design’ - meaning that it is our intention to think, act and be digital first - whilst remaining reliable and holding true to our values and building trustworthiness.
