Abstract
The preservation of audiovisual materials is important to cultural heritage institutions and to a broad community that includes such constituencies as law enforcement agencies and the public. Yet there is not a general awareness of preservation issues. Outreach can begin in the classroom and the author describes the importance of educating students about preservation in a variety of academic disciplines, such as Public History, rather than only in audiovisual programs. Finally, preservation specialists and archivists should create public education opportunities for organizations and individuals who create AV materials. Home Movie Day is one venue for such outreach.
