The General Conference of UNESCO approved the commemoration of a World Day for Audiovisual Heritage (WDAH) in 2005 as a mechanism to raise general awareness of the need to preserve and safeguard important audiovisual materials such as such as sound recordings and moving images for future generations, and for urgent measures to be taken to conserve this heritage. It also aims to ensure the audiovisual heritage remains accessible to the public now and to future generations.
