Anglia Television at the East Anglian Film Archive: A Catalogue of the Collection, 1959 to 2000

东盎格鲁电影档案馆(EAFA)拥有大量的电影和电视材料，可能会引起学术研究人员和英格兰东部社区的极大兴趣。为了释放其藏品的研究和知识转移潜力，东盎格鲁电影档案馆正在开展一系列编目项目，以便在未来五年内建立一个全面的、可搜索的藏品数据库。EAFA拥有的关键收藏品之一包括从1959年到2000年在英格兰东部地区由盎格利亚电视台(现在是ITV plc的一部分)制作和播出的所有现存节目材料。这些材料包括20,000罐胶片和8,000盘录像带，保存在欧足联在诺维奇专门建造的存储设施中。我们正在向AHRC寻求资助的项目涉及对安格利亚电视收藏进行系统评估，并制作一个完全可搜索的在线收藏目录。节目素材混合了新闻片、纪录片、时事、生活方式节目和少量戏剧。我们估计，自1959年以来，它可能占安格利亚总产量的10%。所有非新闻材料将被查看，并与EAFA同期持有的电视时报周刊清单杂志东部地区版的独特纸质集合交叉参考。部分新闻材料将根据适合学术研究人员和节目制作人的搜索标准进行查看和重新编目。通过观看节目素材、从《电视时报》列表中获得的信息，以及从Anglia的On数据库中关于Anglia收藏的(不完整的)现有数据，将补充一些在所述时期，特别是从20世纪70年代初开始为Anglia电视台工作的当地电视制片人的个人知识。由此创建的目录和数据库将在网上提供，并被添加到EAFA计划的关于其所有财产的新的全面数据库中。它将列出传输日期、材料长度和流派等内容，并将使用关键字描述内容。预计，EAFA的Anglia TV收藏品所代表的独特资源的增强将有许多重要的应用和好处，其中关键将是：英国电视历史学家和一些学术学科的研究人员可以详细分析1959年至2000年英国最稳定的独立电视台特许经营权持有人之一的(现有)节目产出。让普通公众获取相同的信息。在评估安格利亚电视台节目材料时，我们还将确定在第二个开发阶段需要做哪些进一步工作，以进一步改进目录，并使更多的节目材料更容易为研究人员和其他用户所获取。我们还将从收藏中挑选材料，纳入单独的EAFA数字电影档案馆产品，该产品将从2010年起在英格兰东部地区的20个公共访问站点免费提供，包括大学和其他高等院校。

The East Anglian Film Archive (EAFA) has extensive holdings of film and television material potentially of enormous interest to both academic researchers and the communities of the East of England. In order to unlock the research and knowledge transfer potential of its collections, the East Anglian Film Archive is embarking on a series of cataloguing projects over the next five years, in order to create a comprehensive and searchable database of its holdings. One of the key collections held by EAFA comprises all of the extant programme material made and broadcast in the East of England region by Anglia Television (now a part of ITV plc) from 1959 to 2000. This material, consisting of 20,000 cans of film and 8,000 videotapes, is preserved in EAFA's purpose-built storage facilities in Norwich. The project for which we are seeking funding from the AHRC involves undertaking a systematic appraisal of the Anglia TV collection and producing a fully searchable online catalogue of the holdings. The programme material is a mixture of news film, documentaries, current affairs, lifestyle programming and a small amount of drama. We estimate it comprises perhaps 10% of Anglia's total output since 1959. All of the non-news material will be viewed and cross-referenced with the unique paper collection of the Eastern regional edition of the TV Times weekly listing magazine that EAFA also holds for the same period. A proportion of the news material will be viewed and re-catalogued according to search criteria suitable for academic researchers and for programme producers. Information derived from viewing the programme material, from the TV Times listings, and from the (incomplete) existing data about the Anglia collection on Anglia's awn database will be supplemented with the personal knowledge of a number of locally based television producers who worked for Anglia Television over the period covered, particularly from the early 1970s. The catalogue and database thereby created will be made available online and added to EAFA's planned new comprehensive database of all of its holdings. It will list among other things the date of transmission, length of material, and genre, and will describe content using key words. It is anticipated that the enhancement of the unique resource represented by EAFA's Anglia Television collection with have a number of important applications and benefits, key among which will be: Access for historians of British television and to researchers in a number of academic disciplines to detailed analysis of the (extant) programme output of one of the UK's most stable ITV franchise holders from 1959 to 2000. Access by the general public to the same information. In appraising the Anglia TV programme material, we will also be identifying what further work will need to be done in a second phase of development to enhance the catalogue further and to make more of the programme material easily accessible to researchers and other users. We will also be selecting material from the collection for inclusion in the separate EAFA Digital Film Archive product that will be delivered free at 20 public access sites, Including universities and other HEIs, in the East of England region from 2010.
