GUEST,Raphie fRoots magazine and the EFDSS (175* d) RE: fRoots magazine and the EFDSS 21 May 09


OK.
Tangential point here.
Many years ago a project was set up at the BBC to archive all the John Peel sessions. It took 3 or 4 years to collate, and save to Hard drives.
It's now completed and can be accessed by authorised producers for programming purposes.
Such was the success of the project, that funding has now been secured to digitise the entire BBC Sound Archive...(Hence my quip re the Forth Bridge.)
That's just Audio. (and we're looking at about 80 years worth of stuff!!)
To do the same with the material in C Sharp House. Aaaaaargh!
Audio, Video, Books....Where would you start?
And it would all have to be done in real time.
I'm not planning on shuffling off this mortal coil just yet, but..100 years to do it all?
Wake me up when they've done Doc Rowes collection!! (about 2030)
We can all dream, and Mr Adams is trying to achieve that dream. But, none of us alive today will see the fruits of such labours.
Not to say that it shouldn't be done. Of course it should.
But, You, Me, SOH, Seth Lakeman, and Lizzie, will be pushing up fields of daisies by then.
The past is for the future to find. But Doff caps to the guardians of that past.
