Broadcast Archives: Preserving the Future

A survey has been made of the holdings and preservation requirements of ten major European public service broadcast archives. The survey also covered `the business they do and how they do it': the contribution made by the archives to the business of broadcasting. The archives gave their plans for future services as media moves from `tapes on shelves' to mass storage and electronic distribution. This paper links the urgent requirements for preservation to a strategy for building the digital archives needed for the future.
