Show detail Hide detail

Parliamentary Sound Archives : The Parliamentary Sound Archive Unit of the United Kingdom was established in 1978 as part of the House of Lords Record Office, following the decisions of both Houses to begin sound broadcasting of their proceedings on a permanent basis. Its basic task was to preserve and make available to Members and other authorised users the tapes of the clean sound feed from both Houses. A co-operative agreement was made with the National Sound Archive, part of the British Library, where pre-1985 audio tapes have been transferred for permanent preservation. A rolling programme for archiving video material once it became 3 years old was established with the National Film Archive, part of the British Film Institute. In April 1992, responsibility for the Unit was transferred to the U.K. House of Commons, in reflection of the balance of its work, and was renamed the Parliamentary Recording Unit. This recording unit was intended to provide MPs, peers and broadcasters with both video and audio material from the Chamber and Committee Rooms of the House of Commons. From October 1992, this service was extended to coverage of the House of Lords Chamber and Committees. The material was made available to other users, including domestic and foreign broadcasters as well as MPs, Government Departments, educational organisations, charities etc., subject to Broadcasting Select Committee guidelines.
