NAVA (National Audiovisual Archive of Hungary) constitutes the legal deposit archive of the Hungarian national broadcasters, collecting audiovisual content. Its scope of collection comprises the programmes of the national terrestrial televisions and radios, produced in or relating to Hungary. In addition, it also accepts locally broadcast or any other audiovisual content for processing or storing, facilitating the preservation of audiovisual content as part of the cultural heritage. The Archive started operating on January 1, 2006. NAVA is operated by John von Neumann Digital Library and Multimedia Centre. As a special feature, NAVA provides on-line access to its collection within the framework regulated by law: the database of its archives can be freely searched and the programmes can be viewed in full at the so-called NAVA-points (terminals in libraries, schools etc.).
