Abstract
This study investigated the preservation and accessibility of audio-visual records in
television broadcasting companies in Tanzania. Specifically, it set out to determine how
audio-visual records are preserved in television broadcasting companies; to establish
how audio-visual records in television broadcasting companies in Tanzania are
accessed and to examine challenges to effective preservation and accessing of audiovisual
records in television broadcasting companies in Tanzania. The literature
reviewed and the findings from pilot study indicate that many AV records are produced
by individuals, television companies and other entities in both rural and urban
Tanzania. They also indicate that there are intervening factors such as resource
constraints, technological incompatibility, inadequate infrastructure, inadequate skills,
environmental factors, and unclear policies the hinder access to and use of audio-visual
records. Since the preservation and accessibility to audio-visual records is challenging
due to intervening factors, it is recommended that approaches used (passive
preservation and active preservation) to preserve audio-visual records be constantly
reviewed to identify strategies that could be used to address challenges as they arise in
order to improve preservation and accessibility of the relevant records.
