National Collection of Contemporary Accounts (Hansard, 20 February 1996)

HC Deb 20 February 1996 vol 272 c54W 54W

§ Mr. Elletson
To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what plans she has to encourage the establishment of a national collection of contemporary accounts on film and tape of people's memories, attitudes and experiences. [16382]

§ Mr. Sproat
This is an important idea. I am taking it forward. I have written to organisations with major holdings of such material to ask what material of this kind currently exists and for their views on the scope for establishing a national collection.
