What is World Day for Audiovisual Heritage?

World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, observed annually on October 27th, is a UNESCO-recognized event that highlights the importance of preserving our audiovisual heritage. This day serves as a reminder of the significance of audiovisual documents in capturing our cultural identity and collective memory.

Why is Audiovisual Preservation Important?

Audiovisual materials, including films, radio and television programs, audio and video recordings, are invaluable records of our history and culture. However, these materials are fragile and can be easily lost due to physical deterioration, technological obsolescence, or neglect. Preserving these materials ensures that future generations can access and learn from our shared cultural heritage.
