🎞️ Did you know that 27 October is World Day for Audiovisual Heritage? Audiovisual archives tell stories of people, cultures and communities across generations. Through films, photographs, sound recordings, radio broadcasts and videos, they preserve our collective memory and offer valuable insights into the world we share. This year’s theme is “Your Window to the World,” which highlights how audiovisual heritage connects societies, reflects our cultural, social and linguistic diversity, and helps us understand one another. However, these records can only continue telling their stories if they are properly preserved and remain accessible to the public and future generations. As records management professionals and archivists, we have a vital role in safeguarding these irreplaceable resources and ensuring that the voices, experiences and histories they carry are not lost. As we mark this important day, keep an eye out for the activities KARMA has planned to celebrate and raise awareness of our audiovisual heritage. More details coming soon! #WorldDayForAudiovisualHeritage #YourWindowToTheWorld #AudiovisualHeritage #Archives #RecordsManagement #DigitalPreservation #IAmKARMA @UNESCO @ICArchiv
