The National Film and Sound Archive’s primary aim is to develop a comprehensive collection of Australian works and materials representing the history, technology and culture of the audiovisual media, from their origins to the present time.
The NFSA will also collect international material selectively, as resources permit, and not to the detriment of Australian works and materials.
The National Collection includes more than 1.3 million items. In addition to discs, films, videos, audio tapes, phonograph cylinders and wire recordings, the Collection includes supporting documents and artefacts, such as photographic stills, transparencies, posters, lobby cards, publicity, scripts, costumes, props, memorabilia and sound, video and film equipment.
There are also guidelines specific to the Indigenous collections held by the NFSA.
It is not very easy to find Language material in the NFSA catalogue unless you know the title of the work you are looking for but have a go and be persistant. Great things can turn up. If you are havving trouble read through the “help” section for tips and don’t be afraid to call to get help with your search the team at NFSA are there to help you.
