Celebrating World Day for Audiovisual Heritage

Thursday 27 October is UNESCO’s World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, a celebration and reminder of the importance of archiving and preserving our audiovisual heritage. To mark this event we’ve brought together a panel of experts to tell us about the exciting, creative and challenging field of AV archiving– Louise Curham, (Lecturer and researcher at the School of Information and Communication Studies at Charles Sturt University), Lucas Ihlein (artist, and researcher and teacher for the University of Wollongong), Asti Sherring (Manager of Changeable Collections at the National Museum of Australia and a researcher with the University of Canberra), and Melanie Swalwell (Professor of Digital Media Heritage at Swinburne University of Technology).
