The archive is a audiovisual archive containing approximately 60,000 digital and physical media items and a research library within a non-profit, independent news organization. The archive's collection contains field recordings, oral histories, recordings of news events, and related independent news material from the mid-eighties until the present and serves internal news production and outside archival requests through active cataloguing, collection management, access and audiovisual preservation.
