Audio-Visual Media in the Archive

Audio-visual media in an archive refers to recorded materials that combine sound and images, such as photographs, films, videos, recordings, and broadcasts. They serve as important historical and cultural records, capturing moments, stories, and information in formats that can be preserved and accessed for research, education, and reference. These media require specialized storage and handling to maintain their quality over time. Archiving audio-visual materials ensures valuable footage and recordings remain available for future generations, providing a rich, multidimensional perspective on events, traditions, and experiences.
