The BBC has started to open up the archive.

Peter Rippon, BBC Archive executive editor, says:

"The site is the beginning of a journey into the BBC’s most cherished asset. Social history, and what it reveals about who we are, is proving especially popular, so we’ve created collections of hundreds of items that give a glimpse of what the archive contains.

We are planning to open up the archive much more as the BBC prepares to mark its Centenary in 2022. This is an important step on that journey."


The BBC archive may be accessed here.
