World Day for Audiovisual Heritage was established in 2005 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The day was created in response to the growing concern about the loss of valuable audiovisual materials, which are an integral part of the world’s cultural heritage. UNESCO recognized the importance of preserving these materials for future generations and designated October 27 as a day to raise awareness about the need to preserve and safeguard audiovisual records.
World Day for Audiovisual Heritage is observed annually on October 27, with various events and activities organized by archives, libraries, museums, and other cultural institutions around the world. The day aims to raise awareness about the importance of audiovisual materials in preserving the world’s cultural heritage and the need to safeguard these records from deterioration, neglect, and loss.
Some common activities include:
1. Exhibitions and screenings: Cultural institutions may organize exhibitions or screenings of rare or endangered audiovisual materials to showcase the richness and diversity of these records and highlight the need for their preservation.
2. Educational talks and workshops: Experts in the field of audiovisual preservation may give lectures or conduct workshops to educate people about the challenges and techniques involved in preserving audiovisual materials.
3. Preservation projects: Archives, libraries, and museums may launch new preservation projects or promote ongoing initiatives aimed at safeguarding endangered audiovisual materials.
4. Social media campaigns: People and organizations are encouraged to share information, stories, and experiences related to audiovisual heritage on social media platforms using the hashtag #AudiovisualHeritageDay to raise awareness and garner support for preservation efforts.
World Day for Audiovisual Heritage serves as a reminder of the significance of audiovisual materials in documenting and preserving our shared cultural heritage. The day also underscores the need for collective efforts to safeguard these valuable records for the benefit of present and future generations.
