The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland has allocated €1.4m for its first
round of an Archiving Scheme, to save historic audio which may be under
threat.
The first round of the scheme is seeking high quality proposals for
the archiving of programme material which preserves a historic record of
Irish culture, heritage and experience.
There is a particular focus in the current round on historic
programme material which is under threat either through its fragile
physical condition or it existence on a soon to be obsolete format.
The Scheme has been designed to provide funding support for the
development of an archiving culture in the Irish broadcasting sector,
contributing to the preservation of Ireland’s broadcasting heritage. It
is funded through a percentage of the annual Broadcasting Fund.
It’s open to a range of individuals and institutions including
broadcasters, advertisers, persons/institutions in possession of
relevant material, persons/institutions capable of carrying out work on
archiving material considered to be of value to the State, and
persons/institutions capable of furthering the Archiving Scheme’s
objectives.
To assist with the application process, the BAI has developed
guidelines for applicants which, together with an application form, are
available here or on request from archiving@bai.ie.
The closing date for receipt of applications is 12 noon on Thursday,
11th April 2013. Any queries relating to the Archiving Scheme should be
directed to archiving@bai.ie.
