Archives are a link between the past, present and future. As such, the creation of the CNA testifies to the clear and deliberate desire to have a single and centralized place responsible for the conservation and promotion of the audiovisual heritage (animated image, photography and sound) of Luxembourg. With archives taking on increasingly varied forms and incorporating new media, driven by the possibility that the latest technological and digital innovations offer, the CNA also has a pedagogical mission to educate the public about these new means of communication which make it possible to describe the present, preserve the past and prepare for the future.

Have a look at the CNA's missions here.

The first mission of the CNA is to ensure the safeguarding of the national audiovisual heritage by legal or voluntary deposit, donation or purchase of audiovisual, cinematographic, sound and photographic documents, produced on the national territory and made available to the public whatever their technical production, publishing or distribution process may be.

You therefore have the possibility of helping the CNA to collect new documents, produced by you or which have come into your possession by resorting to a deposit, a donation or a bequest. They will enrich the existing archive collections.
