Thanks for that comment Ralph and the point is taken. I will make sure that the importance of the written archives for researchers and the need to get some of these online is considered at the meeting.

This sounds a laudable project though I noticed that the issue of digitising BBC archive documents (i.e. Caversham material) does not feature very much, if at all. Those interested in the history of the BBC might benefit greatly from efforts to digitise some of that material albeit under different headings (rather than everything).

Dear Hugh
I'd be very interested to come along to this. I'm just finishing up my PhD, looking at BBC radio during the early 1960's, and am keen to see how these questions of availability might shape my future research.

Dear listers, (apologies for any cross posting)
Some, but probably only a few, of you will have seen Richard Hewett's report on the use of pre-1989 BBC archives which was the result of a Research Education Space (RES) initiative between JISC, the BBC and the BUFVC.
http://repository.jisc.ac.uk/5659/
The report was published earlier this year and addresses some of the major concerns of those of us who work in this area.
There will be a public meeting to discuss the report and its implications.
The details of the meeting are as follows,
Academic requirements for pre-1989 BBC archives (JISC, BBC-RES, BUFVC)
Public Meeting
The Foyle Suite,
The British Library, St Pancras.
Thursday MAY 21st 6pm.
Speaker - Dr Richard Hewett (the report's author)
This is a public meeting but space is limited so if you would like to attend can I ask you to contact me directly so I can confirm your place?
