World Day for Audiovisual Heritage 27 Oct - plans by the SABC Media Libraries

#WDAVH2015

The SABC Media Libraries will be joining other archives worldwide to showcase and bring awareness about the heritage that we preserve in the Radio Archives.

The following has planned for World Day for Audiovisual Heritage this year:

- A Video highlighting the departments and the collections of the SABC Media Libraries will be shown in the main foyer of the workplace.

- The personnel of the SABC Media Libraries will be handing out World Day for Audiovisual Heritage cards at the entrances to make people aware of the AV collections that we preserve.

- A musician Sophie Ribstein and friends will be entertaining the early morning personnel arriving at work.

- We will be displaying some QR codes linking up to videos on the Internet showcasing the material that we preserve. See the example below. (What do you do when you see a QR code?)

This video displays the vulnerability of tow of the formats that are becoming obsolete in the Archives: the acetate record and the reel-to-reel tape.
