The purpose of the British and Irish Sound Archives (BISA) is to facilitate the exchange of information on all practical aspects of audio archiving in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, and to co-ordinate activity deemed by the membership to be in support of their professional interests.

BISA is a regional branch of IASA, the International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives. For more information see www.iasa-web.org/regional-branches
