Welcome to the new FIAT/IFTA web site !

The new FIAT/IFTA website is now accessible to all our members and to all
web users interested in media archives management. I am confident that the
improvements brought to it - more content, new organisation of headings, new
services, enhanced display and navigation, more samples from our archives -
will not only meet the needs and expectations of our actual members, but also
attract many viewers and future members of FIAT/IFTA.
It has been significantly enriched, and I want here to thank all contributors,
and especially those who have sent presentations of their archives as
well as pictures from their archive. Thanks to CBS News and to the Oklahoma
University, to the Dutch Institute of Sound and Vision and to the Irish
TV, thanks to the Peruvian and the Puerto Rican TV, thanks to the National
Archives of Malawi and Zambia … (see Members
Archive presentations ). |

The first video clip is on line on the home page : on 1st October 1967, the
French second TV channel transmitted its first images in color. For this important
event, ORTF officials were on stage, very seriously dressed mostly in black
and white. It was the "New Look" of French TV !
More are expected and welcome ! Our richness is our members archives.
The new web site marks an important milestone in the FIAT/IFTA development,
as it provides a better visibility for FIAT activities. I invite you to read
the New Look paper which will guide you through
the changes achieved and new content.
More good news
The preparation of the FIAT/IFTA
World Conference in Brussels is progressing : the programme has been updated
and looks very interesting and attractive. You can register on line. Be careful

Two giant broadcasters have decided to join FIAT/IFTA :
the China

Corporation of India. Their programmes
reach half of the world audience
! We'll be very proud to welcome them in Brussels. |
FIAT/IFTA has decided to take part in the Balkan
Archives project developed by COPEAM. More information can be found in the
Project pages. They will be completed later in July after the first Task
Force meeting in Bucharest, hosted by the Rumanian TV.
RAI has developed a FIAT/IFTA
members data base.
You might have already received individually invitation and instructions to
fill in the questionnaire about your archive. It will be soon linked to the
FIAT web site for consultation.
Finally, we had three joint FIAT/IFTA meetings in Baden Baden, hosted by SWR
: the Executive Council meeting, the Media Management Commission meeting and
the Programme and Production meeting. Have a look at Steve
