Archival Producers Alliance was founded in 2023 as a way for independent archival producers to come together, create community and develop best practices around their unique role within the film industry. Our group represents around 500 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 taking our unique collective knowledge and using it to influence policy and affect change within the industry. Our first initiative addresses the impact of generative AI on the field of documentary film and archival work. Learn more about our GenAI Initiative.
