³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Archive

Celebrating the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳'s ongoing commitment to literature programming, ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Archive is making new material available within its popular collection: In Their Own Words – British Novelists.

Throughout its history, the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ has helped audiences delve into the imagination of Britain's most revered writers, to understand better the settings they evoke and the characters they create.

The collection of television and radio interviews with some of the 20th century's most-loved authors already includes Muriel Spark and John le Carré, both featured in the inaugural World Book Night in partnership with ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Two. It will now be supplemented with additional material to support the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳'s Year Of Books.

The ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Archive is one of the largest multimedia archives in the world. Held in 27 locations across the UK, it holds close to a million hours of TV and radio programmes, 6 million stills photographs, more than 4 million items of sheet music and more than half-a-million documents and records. New material in the collection is now available at bbc.co.uk/archive/writers.

³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Archive collections allow users to explore some 75 years of UK and ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ history. Programmes, documents and images bring the past to life and enable content discovery within a rich interactive resource, available to UK audiences. For more information visit: bbc.co.uk/archive.
