The Association of Moving Image Archivists

Our diverse range of AMIA Committees and Task Forces collaborate with colleagues from around the world. We create forums for exchange, and develop programs and projects that move us all forward in a changing field.

AMIA was the first professional organization to offer scholarships specifically for students pursuing careers in moving image archives. Applications for scholarships and the IPI Internship program opened in January.

The AMIA Supplier Directory is an international resource guide for anyone working with audiovisual media. Find a supplier, or list your own services or products. We update the directory on a quarterly basis.

The AMIA 2018 Conference Committee invites proposal submissions for papers, sessions, and workshops for the 2018 Annual Conference in Portland, Oregon (Nov 28 – Dec1)

While FoundationDB is far from Apple’s best-known product, it’s the database underlying iCloud, Apple’s massive cloud-based server system for holding and synchronizing hundreds of millions of user accounts — plus trillions of pieces of data. Apple describes FoundationDB as a scalable “distributed datastore, designed from the ground up to be deployed on clusters of commodity hardware,” focusing on data consistency.
