The Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA) is a 501(c) not-for-profit organization established to advance the field of moving image archiving by fostering cooperation among individuals and organizations concerned with the acquisition, description, preservation, exhibition and use of moving image materials.
AMIA has its origins in an informal grouping of film and television archivists in the United States, the Film and Television Archives Advisory Committee (F/TAAC), which had existed since the mid-1960s. It renamed itself the Association of Moving Image Archivists and held its first conference in 1990, and the following year formally constituted itself as an individual member-based professional body. Although AMIA's only office and salaried employees are based in the US, its membership is now drawn from across the world, with international members now constituting approximately one fifth of the total.
