The National Audiovisual Institute is a national cultural institution established to digitize, share and promote Polish audiovisual heritage. The statutory mission of the Institute is: collection, archiving, reconstruction and documentation of audiovisual works promotion of audiovisual heritage and enabling conditions for universal access to it supporting valuable initiatives in the field of production, registration and promotion of valuable cultural works publishing activity media education and training activities aimed at popularizing and developing the media As the Polish Audiovisual Publishing House, founded in 2005, we rediscovered great documentaries ("Polish School of the Document") and animations ("Anthology of Polish Animation" series) for recipients, which, after digitization and reconstruction, can enjoy a new life and win a young audience. In addition to publishing in the field of documentary and animation, we also introduced the audience to selected theater and opera performances, and initiated cultural events that drew attention to artistic phenomena - such as the work of Paweł Szymański or Józef Robakowski. Over time, the scope of tasks has increased, and in the last two years - due to the increasing, urgent need to save the audiovisual archives of Polish culture - PWA has significantly changed its mission. On April 1, 2009, Polish Audiovisual Publishing House was renamed the National Audiovisual Institute, which has become a leading cultural institution in the field of digitization and access to archival resources documenting Polish audiovisual heritage. The effective implementation of these tasks is related not only to the technological and structural process - the topic of archives and opening them to a wide audience is also closely related to the issue of copyright, reflection on cultural memory (including the constant changes of the medium itself, which determines the reception of content) and the necessity to create a friendly and modern place where it will be possible to get acquainted with the digitized audiovisual resources. In the world of an excess of content and the growing confusion of the user in the information chaos, it is necessary to wisely and consciously build both the context of communing with the work - its historical, social and cultural conditions, and the knowledge of how the development of the medium itself influenced its final shape. Shaping competences, awareness and critical reception of audiovisual content requires a synergy of several elements: media education, sharing materials in a format accessible to every user, initiating projects combining artistic creation and theoretical reflection on the phenomena of the contemporary world, as well as promoting an active attitude of reception. These are the goals that guide all the activities of the National Audiovisual Institute and create a way of thinking about archives as a living space for experiencing the world.
