National Film and Sound Archive of Australia

The National Film and Sound Archive is Australia's audiovisual archive, collecting, preserving and sharing this rich heritage.

The National Film and Sound Archive, is the treasure house of Australian audiovisual history. The Archive, preserves and shares Australia's moving images and sound recordings from the first film images of our young country to the modern classics Strictly Ballroom, Shine and beyond from Blue Hills to Blue Heelers, the songs of Peter Dawson and today's Top 40 Hits. From Chips Rafferty, Jack Davey and The Sentimental Bloke to John Farnham, Yothu Yindi and Muriel's Wedding, the Archive's Collection documents Australia's rich cultural history.

Our heritage is preserved for all to share - today and tomorrow. Making the collection accessible to all people is achieved in many ways - by supplying footage and recordings for use in television and radio productions, through regular screenings of some of Australia's greatest films, through innovative exhibitions, travelling shows, live presentations, educational programs, video and audio products, and on our website.
