media archive

A media archive is a organized collection of media content such as videos, photos, audio recordings, and documents, stored for long-term preservation and easy retrieval. It serves as a digital library that preserves valuable media assets, ensuring they remain accessible for future reference, research, or reuse. Media archives are used by organizations, museums, broadcasters, and individuals to manage and safeguard their media history, maintain copyright compliance, and support content management and distribution. They typically include tools for searching, cataloging, and maintaining the media files efficiently.
