The ABC, its Archives and its Audiences

该项目旨在使人们更深入地了解澳大利亚主要公共服务广播机构在全国观众生活中的作用，以及塑造它的社区需求和利益。该项目与澳大利亚广播公司和澳大利亚国家档案馆合作，是重要的，因为它将揭示和解释在广播公司的第一个50年的听众和观众有关的书面记录。预期成果包括：为研究人员、产业界和所有澳大利亚人建立一个扩大的、更易于检索的媒体档案;对澳大利亚广播公司的历史采取以观众为中心的创新办法;加强学术、档案和媒体的合作。

This project aims to enable deeper understandings of the role of Australia’s principal public service broadcaster in the lives of audience members across the country, and the community needs and interests that have shaped it. The project, in partnership with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the National Archives of Australia, is significant because it will uncover and interpret paper records relating to listeners and viewers during the broadcaster’s first 50 years. Expected outcomes include an enlarged and more discoverable media archive for the benefit of researchers, industry and all Australians; an innovative audience-centred approach to the ABC’s history; and enhanced academic, archival and media collaborations.
