2. What is an Archive?
• Definition:
An archive is a collection of historical
records, or the physical place they are located.
Archives contain primary source documents
that have accumulated over the course of an
individual or organization's lifetime, and are
kept to show the function of an organization.
3. Task 1
• In groups of 2, list every form of archive that
you can think of, and where you think you may
find them
4. How is an archive collection usually
used?
Task 2
Again, in the same groups of 2, list every form of use for an
archive collection that you can think of
5. So what is a mashup?
• Definition of the word mashup =
Content containing any or all of
text, graphics, audio, video and animation
drawn from pre-existing sources, to create a
new derivative work.
Digital mashups represent a new phase in the
re-use of existing works not so much
conceptually as in ease of use

In TV – An archive is a store of every piece of media generated by a programme / production company / individual. But you can have many other streams of archive -
Here we ask the expert – Owain, where do you have requests to use the archive from? So now we understand the archive part in the course title, but what about the next part?
It’s something that’s become increasingly popular over the past few years (with the rise of the internet, specifically youtube) – and has been used in a plethora of ways – to advertise, to promote, as a music video, as a promotional vehicle, to sell a product, as fan fiction, as fake movies and so on and so on. See the examples on the next page as some ways that people are using mashups -
