The advisory board was constituted at its first meeting on 9 September 2020 in the Klemperer Hall of the SLUB.

It accompanies and supports the programme coordination office at the SLUB in the implementation of the programme "Safeguarding the Audiovisual Heritage in Saxony", advises on fundamental questions of content orientation as well as structural development. The members of the broadly based committee contribute their experience, build bridges to political decision-makers and create points of contact for academic research. The exchange of experience with the permanent and non-permanent members forms the guideline for the orientation of the SAVE programme.
