Editor's Notes
- #4 We don’t know it? What is it? It’s something new It’s something new that we as FIAT/IFTA might be launching, but first we’d like to pitch the idea with you and hear your comments. So first I’ll explain the concept and the idea behind it and then we’ll ask for reactions through a short survey.
- #13 Each archive has striking gaps, things missing, that have been lost over the years. Things that would make you really happy if it could be recovered.
- #14 Certainly in Europe there has been a lot of exchange of programs over the years.
- #15 Broadcasters from the same language area or beyond have broadcasts copied, sent over, … through all kinds of collaborations. In addition, sometimes home recordings have also happened: people have recorded things and saved the recording, sometimes without being aware of its value.
- #16 In addition, sometimes home recordings have also happened: people have recorded things and saved the recording, sometimes without being aware of its value.
- #17 Now that the digitization projects are at full speed and sometimes have already come to an end, each of our members gets a much better view of what is actually in their collections… and sometimes it turns out to be material that has not been internally produced. Some archives consider not to keep these documents, because they do not belong to them, because they can do little with them, etc. But in fact, unaware, these documents can be of great value to foreign colleagues ... in that case very valuable exchanges may be possible ...
- #19 FIAT/IFTA gives each of the members the opportunity to publish a "most wanted" list on the FIAT/IFTA website, with up to 10 (number to be determined) noticeable gaps in the archive (radio, tv). These can be missing episodes, but also more general categories, such as "radio programs from the 1950s." See also the NFSA list for some examples: https://www.nfsa.gov.au/nfsa-most-wanted
- #20 A general contact address is also published with each list, through which fellow archives and / or private individuals can contact the relevant archive if they have anything from the list.
