National Film and Sound Archive of Australia

About

The National Film and Sound Archive is Australia's 'living' archive – the custodian of over 2.8 million items that we not only collect, but preserve for future generations and share in many diverse ways.

The NFSA collection holds films, television and radio programs, videos, audio tapes, records, compact discs, phonograph cylinders and wire recordings. It also encompasses documents and artefacts such as photographs, posters, lobby cards, publicity items, scripts, costumes, props, memorabilia, oral histories, and vintage equipment.

The NFSA's Film Australia Collection spans 1913 to 2008 and includes over 3,000 Commonwealth documentary and docu-drama titles, for which we manage licensing, sales and distribution.
