In 2014, AVPreserve and the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC), with funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, undertook an in-depth, multi-faceted assessment to quantify the existing audio items held in institutional collections throughout the United States. This was performed in response to The Library of Congress National Recording Preservation Plan and its call for the appraisal of collections, as well as to establish a foundation for articulating the current preservation need of sound recordings in collections nationwide.

The 2015 FIAT/IFTA World Conference will take place in Vienna from October 7th until October 10th 2015.

This year theme will be:
 
“Audiovisual Culture, a bridge to the future”

As a service to the sound and audiovisual archives community, IASA is gradually making available for free on the IASA website all back copies of its journal since 1993 and the journal's predecessor, the IASA Phonographic Bulletin (1971-1993):
