National Film and Sound Archive of Australia

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) is Australia’s national audiovisual cultural institution. We collect, preserve and share Australia’s audiovisual culture. The collection includes not only video and audio recordings, but also contextual materials such as costumes, scripts, props, photographs and promotional materials. It is a diverse, dynamic and often surprising repository, ranging from items inducted into the UNESCO Memory of the World register to sporting matches, game shows and advertising jingles. As well as preserving these items for future generations, NFSA curators continue to build the collection, ensuring it provides an unbroken record of Australian creativity and diversity. The NFSA ensures that the collection is available for enjoyment, learning, research and re-use through a range of public programs and services. These include Sounds of Australia, NFSA Restores, screenings and events, and learning programs delivered online and at its headquarters in Acton, Canberra. The wealth of stories captured in the national audiovisual collection is also available to all Australians across the NFSA’s digital channels and platforms.
