Comments
Direct access to outside researchers is rarely given - requests must go to senior archives personnel. However external footage sales and research can be arranged through Lisa Savage (lisa@lisasavage.tv). The Network also has an external sales facility through Focal International (http://www.focalint.org/footage-and-content-gallery/directory/member/1205/seven-network-australia-the).
The Seven Network is in the process of digitising samples of its programs from the past and providing copies to the National Film and Sound Archive, where the material can be publicly accessed. The network also participates in the NFSA’s News and Current Affairs project, whereby specified weeks of news are provided to it, material which can be found in the NFSA catalogue.
