Without action and dedicated resources, unique and irreplaceable audio heritage may be lost.
Audiovisual media require special care and handling. NRPF does not directly preserve collections, but we can connect you to information that will help.
NRPF's podcast shares stories about the preservation of recorded sound, as well as the people and organizations who preserve them.
The NRPF has awarded over a quarter of a million dollars to support the digitization and stewardship of at-risk audio collections.
