Collaboration in the management and preservation of audio-visual archives: a case study of the national archives of Zimbabwe
Abstract
The study investigated the significance of collaboration in the management and
preservation of audio-visual archives at the National Archives of Zimbabwe

exploration of literature has revealed that managing audio-visuals is not an easy
part and most cultural heritage institutions in developing counties have been
struggling. The underlying premise is that collaboration ensures efficiency and
effectiveness in the management and preservation of audio-visual archives
