Preparedness in Practice: Risk Management for Audiovisual Archives in Oman

Wednesday October 21, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm EEST

Atrium 5th floor: Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania

This poster examines risk management practices for audiovisual archives in the Sultanate of Oman within the context of escalating geopolitical tensions in the Gulf region. Audiovisual collections are increasingly exposed to a range of risks, including physical damage, technological failure, and data security vulnerabilities, all of which may compromise their long-term preservation, integrity, and accessibility.

The poster presents a focused case study of the Audiovisual Archives Division at the National Records and Archives Authority, drawing on current institutional practices related to preparedness and risk mitigation. It highlights existing measures such as preliminary risk assessment, backup strategies, and initial efforts to safeguard digital content, while also identifying critical gaps. These include limited resources, the absence of comprehensive risk management frameworks, and the need for specialized training and capacity building.

The poster will discuss practical insights derived from this experience and will argue for the importance of incremental and scalable approaches to strengthening archival resilience. The findings aim to contribute to ongoing discussions on preparedness in conflict-prone and uncertain environments.
