Extra funding for sound archives
Responsibility for
Radio New Zealand’s Sound Archives (Sound Archives Nga
Taonga Korero) is being transferred to the New Zealand Film
Archive, announced the Arts, Culture and Heritage Minister,
Chris Finlayson and Broadcasting Minister, Craig Foss
today.
A transfer agreement has been signed, and takes effect from 1 October 2012.
An extra $300,000 per annum is being made available for sound archiving and a one-off sum of $1 million will be provided over the next two financial years. This extra funding will be used to digitise New Zealand’s valuable audio heritage.
“RNZ has done an excellent job over the years in caring for New Zealand’s sound archive. The transfer of responsibility to the New Zealand Film Archive provides an opportunity to build on that legacy and enable broader use of expertise across the sector,” says Mr Finlayson.
“Sound
Archives Nga Taonga Kōrero staff will continue to provide
their professional expertise alongside that of the Film
Archive,” says Mr
Foss.
