• Melbourne also catalogues and digitally stores clipped news stories from the Canberra bureau.

• Sports and News from other cities in the network, and non-news material: limited amount, mostly clips (rather than full programs)

Comments

The Library is for production purposes and there are no facilities for outside researchers.

Sydney and Melbourne hold the main repositories (see also Sydney entry). Each other station in the network is responsible for cataloguing its News: Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide.

Much film and tape material from before the mid-1980s has gone to the National Film and Sound Archive. The network also participates in the NFSA News and Current Affairs project, whereby specified weeks of news are provided to it.
