ABOUT US
The Anthropological Media Foundation (AMF) is committed to capturing the diverse cultural expressions of humanity at a pivotal moment in history. As modern technology—cell phones, the internet, social media, and AI—reshapes even the most remote communities, AMF works to preserve the delicate balance between the old and the new.
Our mission is to document these cultural shifts, ensuring that traditions, languages, and stories are archived for posterity. By capturing this moment in time, AMF provides future generations with access to the richness of human culture.

MISSION STATEMENT
Archiving, appreciating, and amplifying humanity's artistic and cultural heritage. The Anthropological Media Foundation (AMF) is dedicated to capturing the voices, traditions, and expressions of diverse cultures worldwide. By preserving these invaluable cultural treasures, we empower communities to safeguard their heritage for future generations.


VISION STATEMENT
AMF envisions a world where every culture’s unique identity is preserved and celebrated. Through the creation of a vast cultural archive, we ensure the lasting appreciation, recognition, and continuity of cultural heritage, ensuring that no tradition fades into obscurity.

HOW WE DO THIS
AMF equips Cultural Archivists (CAs) with the tools and resources to document the traditions, stories, languages, and artistic expressions of their communities. These archivists, deeply connected to their people, gather cultural content in various forms—video, audio, photographs, and written narratives—to ensure that history is preserved firsthand.
CAs submit their work through the Cultural Archivist Hub, where they securely provide documentation. Payments are made for accepted submissions, valuing the dedication of these cultural stewards while ensuring the long-term preservation of their heritage.
