Throughout the year, staff members participated in numerous conferences and events including the American Moving Image Archivists (AMIA), American Library Association (ALA), the American Institute for Conservation of Historic & Artistic Works (AIC), extending the departments reputation for educational leadership and advocacy in the field. Just as BAVC as an organization has transcended its video origins, BAVCs Preservation department has adapted to the needs of the digital world while staying true to its core mission: To democratize access to tools of media making and media preserving.
