Audiovisual Legal Deposit register
If 'no information' is shown for your country please contribute by completing the simple form at www.ifla-av-legal-deposit-form.iasa-web.org
This database of Legal Deposit for audiovisual materials, country by country, is being "crowdsourced" by IFLA and IASA members and other contributors from the audiovisual archiving profession.
Click a country name for more details about legal deposit in that country.
This register is not intended to collate comprehensive information, nor can IASA and IFLA vouch for its accuracy; however, the register gives an indication of the existence (or not) of legal deposit in each country and links to further information. We hope that such information on worldwide practices will help individual countries to obtain or improve their own legal deposit legislation.
If no information is available about a particular country, can you help? Complete the short questionnaire at www.ifla-av-legal-deposit-form.iasa-web.org and your information will be added here (you may use the same form to submit corrections). Please note that we need information even for those countries that have no legal deposit legislation for audiovisual materials.
