About us
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) is the nation’s audiovisual cultural institution, dedicated to collecting, preserving and sharing the sounds and images that shape Australian life. From our physical archives in Canberra to our growing online presence, we connect audiences with the stories, people and moments that define our cultural identity.
The practice of audiovisual archiving is ever evolving – and so is our institution.
From film to gaming, vinyl to TikToks, the NFSA holds Australia’s most significant audiovisual collection.
The NFSA is a statutory authority governed by a Board and managed by an Executive Team.
