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 600 archival producers - and counting - from across the US and internationally. We are using our unique collective knowledge to influence policy and affect change within the industry through three primary initiatives:
-
Creating standards for, and assessing impacts of, Generative AI in nonfiction media and audiovisual archives
-
Developing methods for Local TV News Preservation
-
Offering professional development, advocacy, and industry outreach for Archival Producers
