This presentation examines the challenges of safeguarding audiovisual archives in fragile and resource-constrained contexts, focusing on Burkina Faso. Audiovisual materials play a key role in preserving cultural identity, yet they face risks such as limited infrastructure, technological obsolescence, and lack of formal preservation systems.

Based on academic research and field observations, this presentation highlights how local actors develop adaptive strategies, including informal archiving practices and community-based preservation. It also emphasizes the importance of integrating risk preparedness and strengthening digital resilience.

By offering a West African perspective, this contribution aims to enrich global discussions on audiovisual preservation, resilience, and cultural sustainability.
