To Catalog, Preserve, and Provide Access:
The Library of Congress has statutory responsibility under the American Television and Radio Archives provision of the 1976 Copyright Act, the National Film Preservation Act of 1996, and the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000 to preserve and make accessible the audiovisual heritage of the United States. The Library's Packard Campus for Audio–Visual Conservation in Culpeper, VA, is the first centralized facility in America specially planned and designed to fulfill this mission.
