Worldwide, more than 30 million hours of unique television programming are broadcast every year, yet only a tiny fraction of it is preserved for future reference, and only a fraction of that preserved footage is publicly accessible. Most television broadcasts are simply lost forever.Archives are still under–funded, cataloging is still expensive, technical standards are still in flux, and most holdings have yet to be digitized. Archiving is not a priority for most program owners and local stations, and rights issues make access to archived material problematic.Changes in the media used for archival storage create new possibilities for preservation of and access to cultural materials. The shift from clay to papyrus, which allowed for the creation of the Library of Alexandria, and from paper to microfilm (which some in the archive community count as a major disaster), are both examples of this. A similar change is now underway in the world of television and video archiving. It is now possible to cost effectively store every broadcast, and to offer Internet access to television archives to students, historians, and scholars all over the world.Mediaum was among the first to exploit the potential of a converged information technology/broadcast world. By innovating in the areas of cataloging, digitization, and legal issues, we can make sure that what is broadcast today remains available for future generations of students, historians, and scholars.
