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?
