Hmm, I think I know just the people to ask about that one- an episode
on metadata, bringing in everyone from /programs to written archives,

Yes please! I have a bit of time through the NoTube project to help
chase interviewees or ideas too. But how far back can we go? Anybody got
contacts with folk from the very early days of the BBC archive. When did
things first start being catalogued carefully, and how, etc...?
Nearby in the Web - http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/catalogue.shtml
http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/catalogue.shtml?chapter=5 ... great
interviews, but it seems like only snippets from something perhaps
longer are online? I love hearing about the example searches people ask
of the archive, ... really stretches the capabilities of even modern
metadata / search tools, and makes you think about what must be buried
in the BBC databases if only we knew how to find it again.
