The Bay Area Video Coalition, Incorporated (BAVC) received a $215,186 project grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities under the Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access program. The grant will fund a national study of audiovisual preservation to be conducted between March 2023 and February 2025. As part of the study, BAVC will design and implement surveys, interviews, and site visits to assess the demographics, practices, challenges, and needs of organizations engaged in audiovisual archiving and preservation across the United States. The goal is to develop a contemporary analysis of the field to help empower all stakeholders with tangible data and recommendations that can strengthen collective efforts to address the impending "magnetic media crisis" threatening significant losses of audiovisual heritage. Findings from BAVC's comprehensive study of the preservation landscape are intended to create more coordinated responses to challenges through informed guidance and resources for the field.
