It was created in 1984 as a collecting institution, combining film, sound and video material in one audiovisual archive and operated as a semi-autonomous agency within various Australian Government Departments responsible for the Arts.
In June 1999 the name was changed to ScreenSound Australia. In July 2003 ScreenSound became a Division of the Australian Film Commission. The name reverted to National Film and Sound Archive in December 2004.
