Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World Day for Audiovisual Heritage is celebrated on October 27 each year. Established by UNESCO in 2005, this day highlights the essential work done by preservation professionals and institutions worldwide to safeguard audiovisual records—films, recordings, and broadcasts—that form an important part of our collective history. The observance reminds us of the fragility of these materials and the necessity of preserving them to maintain access for future generations. It also brings awareness to the risk of chemical decay and technological obsolescence that endanger audiovisual heritage.
