Unesco Audiovisual Heritage Day: SRG draws attention to film and sound documents

Today’s UNESCO Day for Audiovisual Heritage is an opportunity for SRG to draw attention to its online radio and television archives. The UNESCO Day is intended to help raise public awareness of this cultural heritage and ensure its preservation.

Sound has been an integral part of media reporting since the early 20th century and moving images have also been an integral part of reporting since the middle of the last century. SRG has preserved thousands of such image and sound documents since it was founded in 1931. Some of them are available to the general public in its online archives.
The SRG timeline provides numerous trouvailles on a wide range of topics from culture, education, business and politics to environmental protection, healthcare, sport and leisure. The focus of this online archive is on Switzerland: The archive was launched in 2006 on the occasion of SRG's 75th anniversary and has been regularly expanded since then.
SRG is increasingly making its in-depth knowledge available to everyone on the internet - on all online platforms of its radio and television programs. In order to be even closer to its audience, SRG now also publishes selected content on external platforms such as YouTube.
