Syllabus
The syllabus of this curricular unit is divided into a historical perspective on the origins of audiovisual archives based on the Portuguese politics of heritage preservation and a critical analysis of contemporary preservation practices.
The analytic component considers the different dynamics involved in the management of audiovisual archives today, including:
- management of film collections and non-film collections- preservation and exhibition policies;
- legal deposit;
- challenges presented by digitalisation and dematerialisation processes; - the role of the Internet and alternative archival systems.- The role of internet for the management of new forms of audiovisual collectiions
For the practical part, we will visit several audiovisual archives in Portugal.

Objectives
Objectives
This curricular unit aims to achieve two learning macro-objectives.
First, the students will acquire a better understanding of the origins of audiovisual archives and the preservation practices of filmic artefacts. This historical knowledge will be complemented by the ability to critically interpret the sociocultural values involved in the specific configurations assumed by audiovisual archives over time.
Second, students will acquire skills to better interpret the complex political, economic, and cultural problematics affecting the management of audiovisual archives. In addition, these skills will entail the capability of formulating informed, critical, and creative proposals to address contradictions in contemporary archival contexts.
