World Day for Audiovisual Heritage HistoryWorld Day for Audiovisual Heritage aims to raise global awareness on the significance and preservation of audiovisual (AV) archives. These archives play an invaluable role in our society by providing historical, cultural, educational, and scientific insights. AV materials such as films, sound recordings, and broadcasts preserve the world's accumulated knowledge and experiences, which are crucial for future generations to learn from, study, and appreciate the legacy of our past. Initially proposed in 2005 by the Czech Republic and officially recognized by UNESCO in 2007, the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage was established to emphasize the importance of these archives and the need for their preservation. In America, audiovisual heritage is an essential aspect of our history, offering an invaluable resource that encompasses a wide range of subjects. These AV materials play a significant role in building the collective memory of the United States, and their preservation is crucial for maintaining our cultural identity as well as for providing a wealth of knowledge for researchers, scholars, and enthusiasts. World Day for Audiovisual Heritage is observed through various means, such as events, seminars, screenings, and exhibits promoting the understanding, appreciation, and preservation of AV archives. Libraries, museums, and educational institutions across the country take part in the observance, often showcasing the valuable resources housed in their archives and highlighting their ongoing efforts to preserve these materials. World Day for Audiovisual Heritage is celebrated on the 27th of October each year. World Day for Audiovisual Heritage facts
