Ms Bríd Dooley:

As I outlined, for the digitisation, which simply means the reformatting of material on the older legacy and physical carriers to a digital file, we will have completed the bulk of our audio by 2025 and video by 2027. What begins then is the journey of a new digital archive. A lot of work has to be done to develop the metadata tools. We are implementing a new content management system which will not only see the legacy material brought into that new system but will marry it up with all the archiving we do every single day. The archive grows every day and grows by about 7% per year across our video and much more across our audio. The work of the archive in the context of developing that catalogue is a longer-term process. We are currently looking at areas like AI, for example, to see where there might be some good wins for us in being able to provide greater discoverability. We can then start looking at different models of how to grow and expand access to the archives in different ways for the public. That could be in our existing services, such as our website, or in new services where we decide there is a model we can look at. We are looking abroad at the different models that are there. Much more digital access will be seen in the next two or three years. It is growing every day and the archives website grows every single day. To the Senator's point, we do those archives daily. There is a curated, researched and published piece of content from the archives every day. The publication of the wider archive in any way needs to be carefully considered, simply because of all the legal considerations and costs. However, there are different ways of doing that in a form that would follow other jurisdictions in respect of what they do.
