A message from the CCAAA Secretary General

Dear Colleagues, 

World Day for Audiovisual Heritage (WDAVH), 27 October 2012:
“Audiovisual heritage memory ? the clock is ticking”

This year the WDAVH website will be hosted by IASA. We recommend that your organisation provides a link to the site:
www.iasa-web.org/world-day-audiovisual-heritage

Opportunities for apps developers, designers and other digital innovators will be boosted today as the digital portal Europeana opens up its dataset of over 20 million cultural objects for free re-use.

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia's 2012 additions to the National Registry of Recorded Sound have been announced by the Federal Minister for the Arts Simon Crean.

The additions, with streaming audio, are on the NFSA website:

Hosted by the AIIS Archives and Research Center for Ethnomusicology, ably guided by Shubha Chaudhuri, this will be one of the most important meetings of recent times. Held in the India International Center, near the tourist resources of Delhi’s bustling metropolis, it will be an exciting time for IASA attendees.
