About IASA
The International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA) was established in 1969 in Amsterdam to function as a medium for international co-operation between archives that preserve recorded sound and audiovisual documents.
IASA has members from more than 60 countries representing a broad palette of audiovisual archives and personal interests which are distinguished by their focus on particular subjects and areas, e.g. archives for all sorts of musical recordings, historic, literary, folkloric and ethnological sound documents, theatre productions and oral history interviews, bio-acoustics, environmental and medical sounds, linguistic and dialect recordings, as well as recordings for forensic purposes.
The Technical Committee is concerned with the preservation of audiovisual media and technically sustainable approaches to future access.
The Technical Committee devotes itself to all technical aspects of recording, storage and reproduction, including new recordings, transfer and storage technologies.
Joerg Houpert, Technical Director of Cube-Tec International is an IASA Sustaining Member since 2000.
The whole Cube-Tec team likes to thank the IASA members for orientation and friendship for more than a decade.
