Conservation, Preservation and Public Access:

The Audio-Visual Preservation Trust is dedicated to increasing Canadians’ awareness of their rich and distinctive heritage in moving images and sound.

This web site is designed as a portal into our audiovisual heritage, an Internet gateway for anyone wanting further information. Its contents and links will grow as the Trust and its partners identify and preserve this country’s recorded heritage.

Working in collaboration with both public and private sectors, the AV Trust conducts a variety of programs designed to help tomorrow’s generations see and hear yesterday’s and today’s. Examples of AV Trust activities can be found by clicking o­n the headings below:
