The Girona City Council through the Centre for Image Research and Diffusion (CRDI) and the Museum of Cinema, in collaboration with the Friends of UNESCO, commemorate once more the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage with two online proposals:

1. CRDI presents a new audiovisual product, created using 3D technology, for a better understanding of the technical procedure of formation of the gravure on copper plate from the original technique of Talbot-Klic (1879). Script by Carles Mitjà. Project execution by CIFOG (Escola de Cicles Formatius de Girona).
2. Part of the bibliography collection about Photography Technique it's available online for researchers and for all users. This collection belongs to the specialized library of the Municipal Archive and to the one from the Institut d'Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya. The digitisation and online publication aims to offer full access to 127 books dated before 1950.
