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)

Google has partnered with 3D laser scanning nonprofit CyArk to help preserve historical sites around the world that are at risk of irreversible damage or total erasure due to human conflict and natural disasters. The joint effort, called the Open Heritage project, will use CyArk’s laser-scanning technology to capture all the relevant data at a historical site needed to re-create it virtually, so it can be preserved and explored online either on a computer, through a mobile device, or while wearing a virtual reality headset.
