Transcribing ITV programmes index cards

Project background

The ITV archive in Wales is one of the biggest television archives in Europe and comprises around 250,000 items including cans of film, tapes and other formats.  It represents a unique cultural, social and political history of Wales over the past 60 years and contains some of the most iconic television images of the times.

The archive contains a collection of index cards which detail the contents of a variety of programmes produced by ITV Wales and Bristol. 

We are inviting volunteers to transcribe the data on the index cards to an Excel document; this will enable the ITV Archivist to copy the transcriptions and upload them immediately on the ITV system.
