The restoration application targets audiovisual materials such as photos, films, and videos taken in the 20th century (1901?2000) with backgrounds of Gyeongsang National University and the Jinju and Tongyeong areas where the university is located, owned by private individuals or the public, and recorded on analog media.

Gyeongsang National University will review the submitted records for importance and usability, select them, and support free digital conversion and restoration. The scope of restoration support includes resolution and color enhancement, discoloration and damage restoration, and scanning work.

Anyone who owns photos or videos eligible for restoration support can participate.

Application forms can be downloaded and completed from the Gyeongsang National University Archives website. Applications are accepted only through non-face-to-face methods such as phone, fax, mail, or email, and the application period is until October 15.

Final restoration targets will be selected according to support criteria and applicants will be notified by November. The digitally restored results will be sent via email, and the originals will be returned by courier or registered mail to the address provided on the application form.
