Hi, I've just joined this list and noticed a brief reference to the BBC's Creative Archive. I've been trying to work out where that project is at. I notice the official site doesn't seem to have been updated since October 2006 (despite the site saying it would "be updated with details about this [Public Value Test] assessment throughout the process": http://creativearchive.bbc.co.uk/archives/the_bbcs_plans/ <http://creativearchive.bbc.co.uk/archives/the_bbcs_plans/> ). The last official reference I could find was in the parliamentary inquiry that resulted in the May 2007 report, New Media and Creative Industries (http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200607/cmselect/cmcumeds/509 /50902.htm), which made some recommendations about the future operation of the CA, if it were to proceed.
Does anyone know the fate or future of the Creative Archive? Has it, or is it likely to be, submitted to the BBC Trust for a public value assessment? Any idea of timeframes? Was there any response to the parliamentary report? Are there any online references that I might turn to? Thanks for any heads-up you can offer.
