At the 22nd SEAPAVAA Conference in 2018, participants explored the practices of AV archiving beyond conventional boundaries, encompassing technological innovation, international collaboration, embracing exchange and outreach to new communities across borders. Fast forward to 2024. The archiving world has experienced significant disruptions in multiple ways. The 28th SEAPAVAA Conference in the UNESCO recognised region of Central Java, Indonesia, provides an excellent opportunity for attendees to explore the new horizons beckoning (and summoning) AV archives. The evolving archiving landscape is seeing technology and artificial intelligence rapidly advancing. Climate change and sustainability concerns are taking centre stage, and imaginative collaborations are taking shape between archival institutions, creative industries and beyond. The management of archives now requires resourceful, resilient, and inventive thinking and action.
SEAPAVAA will hold its 28th Conference from 10 – 14 June 2024 in Solo, Surakarta, Indonesia. This year’s conference theme is ”Navigating New Horizons in Audiovisual Archiving”. The conference will be hosted by the National Archives of the Republic of Indonesia (ANRI).
