Film Archive UK launches new website

Sunday 27th October 2013 marks the UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage – the day when archives around the world join together to celebrate audiovisual collections and the organisations working to protect, preserve and provide access to them.

As part of the celebrations, Film Archives UK is launching its new website, and in the coming year will be encouraging more individuals and institutions to join FA UK – a network of industry professionals, archivists, conservators, scholars and associated organisations and individuals interested in and committed to the work and development of the UK’s film archives delivering public benefit.

FA UK encourages everyone, everywhere to join us in celebrating the UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage.  

Please take a few minutes to follow the link to our website – http://filmarchives.org.uk/about/ – where you can watch a short video showcasing some of the treasures from our collections, and do share the link with as many friends and colleagues as you can to help highlight the vital work of preserving our moving image heritage.
