In 2007 the first official UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage (27th Oct) was launched. This date has now been designated an annual event by UNESCO (

The theme for 2014 is Archives at Risk - Much More to Do
The Co-ordinating Council of Audio-Visual Archives Associations (CCAAA) which is composed of Non-governmental organizations involved in AV archiving worldwide, (included the International Council on Archives, ICA) was designated by UNESCO as the lead implementing body to organize the yearly celebration.
ICA encourage all of our members to participate in the celebration of World Day for Audiovisual Heritage and to communicate their activities at the following email:
