The Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision (Dutch: Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld & Geluid, or short, Beeld & Geluid) is the cultural archive and a museum located in Hilversum. The Institute for Sound & Vision collects, looks after, and provides access to over 70% of the Dutch audio-visual heritage. In total, the collection of more than 750,000 hours of [television, radio, music and film that began in 1898 and continues to grow daily, [1] makes Sound & Vision one of the largest audiovisual [archive]s in Europe. It was founded in 1997 as the Netherlands Audiovisual Archive (Dutch: Nederlands Audiovisueel Archief (NAA)), and adopted its current name in 2002. Its history, however, goes back to 1919, with the foundation of the Nederlandsch Centraal Filmarchief, being one of its precursors. [2]
