FIAT/IFTA proudly celebrates the remarkable women who shape and lead our organization. This year marks a historic milestone as our Executive Council is now led by three remarkable women: Virginia Bazán-Gil as President, Karin Van Arkel as General Secretary, and Delphine Wibaux as Vice-President. Their leadership reflects FIAT/IFTA’s commitment to encouraging inclusivity, innovation, and collaboration in the audiovisual archiving community.

To mark International Women’s Day 2025, we are launching a special initiative to highlight contributions of women in audiovisual archiving and media preservation.

Join Us in Showcasing Women’s Impact on Archives

This month, we invite FIAT/IFTA members and the broader audiovisual archiving community to take part in this celebration by:

• Spotlighting Pioneering Women – Share stories of women who have made a lasting impact on audiovisual archiving.
• Showcasing Women’s Contributions to Media History – Do you have archived footage, interviews, or projects that highlight women’s roles in media? We’d love to see them!
• Amplifying Your Work – If your organization is running a special initiative for Women’s Month, let us know!
