The Yorkshire Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (YMLAC) is carrying out a survey of audiovisual collections in its region. The aim of the survey is to compile a list of organisations in Yorkshire that hold collections of audiovisual materials, particularly those with an archival, educational or historic value. We are interested in all moving image and sound formats such as film, video, discs, tapes and digital files and all types of organisation including public archives and libraries, universities, media companies, community broadcasting groups and amateur film and music societies. A number of organisations have been directly emailed with a request to complete the survey questionnaire. If your organisation has not received such as request, but holds such AV materials, please complete the questionnaire by accessing the following link http://www.tfpl.com/questionnaire/ymlac/ymlac01.cfm Closing date for responses: Friday 20 January 2006 The results will be used by YMLAC to shape a strategy for the long term preservation and development of audiovisual collections in the region. The information gathered will not be used for any marketing or commercial purposes and will not be disclosed to any party outside YMLAC and TFPL Ltd (the company that designed and is hosting the questionnaire). If you would like to know more about the survey or YMLAC, please contact Claire Dyson of YMLAC, ([log in to unmask]) Thank you
