Scope:NFVSA is a government institution that preserves the audio-visual heritage of the country for future generations. Different formats like films, sound recordings and related materials, such as scripts, posters etc, can be found at the NAFVSA, where interested persons can access audio-visual material. NAFVSA should be seen as a resource centre for the audio-visual heritage of South Africa.

Apart from the audio-visual collection NAFVSA also has slides, posters, scripts, a library and photographs dealing with audio-visual material, as well as information on the arts such as literature, music, sculpting, painting, the theatre etc.

As the Archives was originally a creation of the National Party government, there were strict guidelines on what they could keep and many of the anti-Apartheid films made in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s still have the word "Beperk" (Restricted) on their cards. This includes the Black Sash materials.
