The Use of visual recorded material on the Digital Archive

There is a lot of video material, some stretching back to quite early shows.

Toby has overseen the construction of the archive in such a way that all known material will be accessible - if there is a recording of a particular show then it is available.

There was some debate as to storage - whether all material should be stored on the website itself or not, but looking at websites that have chosen this route it often makes the website slow, and one of the main user experience that Toby was really focused on from the outset was that it should be quick and efficient, so anything that interfered with that was out the computer window!

All physical storage - dvd's etc - would be passed for archiving to the NSSAW National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales.
