I have three specific video tape recordings of sites which I had no
problem recording as sources. Indeed one is the only source for the
information! What I don't have is the ephemera such as news items or the
appearance of our area in other programs. I don't, yet, have a copy of
the Restoration Program on Whitfield Tabernacle.
I think the media museum (or whatever it is called) in Bradford holds
an archive. Certainly the BBC, now retain progs, but I am not sure about
ephemera
Thank you

Morning all,
Just to open up a couple of discussion threads on this Information
Scheme
which I suspect needs more attention. The plan is that the Information
scheme will be broadened in scope to cover a wider range of resources,
metadata for different resource types etc.
One specific area I would like comments on is the recording as a source
of
broadcast TV programmes. As we have all seen in the last couple of
years
heritage has become 'the new gardening' or whatver. Discussion
elsewhere
(e.g. on britarch) has debated the merits of these programmes, but I
think
it is fair to say that hundreds of sites have been filmed, and that
footage
(wherever it is held) is going to be very informative as an archive in
years
to come.
Does anyone currently add TV programmes as sources to their records?
If so, what information should be recorded to describe a programme
treated
as a source - does MIDAS cover this area adequately?
Is anyone aware of where (if at all) footage from these programmes
(perhaps
including unbroadcast footage) is held? How can it be adequately
referenced
to promote future access?
Edmund
