The Centre has created - as a wider forum - the Southern Broadcasting History Group, which draws together broadcasting historians from a range of academic institutions in the South of England. It has acquired the LBC/IRN archive of 7,000 audio tapes, and will shortly prepare a bid for digitisation and cataloguing of this unique collection. It has set up the Radio Research Database in partnership with BUFVC.
The Centre is now entering a period of growth, both in its membership and in its aspirations. At the centre of the Centre's strategy is the study of broadcasting archives. With a number of new Ph.D students working in this area, we are seeing an exciting development of the discussion base within the group, and a series of regular seminars is planned.
