World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, also known as Audio-Visual Heritage Day, is observed on October 27th each year. It is a day designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to raise awareness about the importance of preserving and safeguarding audiovisual materials that are a part of our cultural heritage.
Audiovisual materials, which include film, television, radio broadcasts, sound recordings, and other forms of media, provide valuable insights into our history, culture, and society. They document events, art, traditions, and various aspects of human life. However, these materials are often at risk of deterioration, loss, or neglect, making it essential to protect and preserve them for future generations.
Audio-Visual Heritage Day serves as an occasion to highlight the significance of audiovisual archives and libraries, as well as the dedicated work of professionals and institutions that collect, preserve, and make these materials accessible. It encourages people to engage with audiovisual heritage, learn about the challenges of preservation, and participate in efforts to safeguard our cultural history.
