The Archival Producers Alliance’s mission is to elevate and amplify the role of archival producers within non-fiction media and to promote the value, use, protection, and preservation of authentic archival materials.
Founded in 2023, the APA represents over 550 archival producers - and counting - from across the US and internationally. As individuals, our work has appeared on cable, public, and network television, streaming platforms, as well as in theaters and festivals around the world.
​
​As a group, we are using our unique collective knowledge to influence policy and affect change within the industry. We have three main initiatives:
​
-
Creating standards and assessing impact of GenAI in nonfiction media and audiovisual archives
-
Developing methods for Local TV News Preservation
-
Offering professional development and industry outreach for Archival Producers
