BBC handbooks, annual reports and accounts, 1927-2001/2
This collection, covering 1927-2001/2, includes all the handbooks, annual reports and accounts published by the British Broadcasting Corporation during the 20th century. In addition to financial data relating to the BBC's grant-in-aid and how it was spent, the collection contains a review of each year's public-service broadcasting, with detailed schedules, audience research, performance and objective tables, as well as commentaries and editorials. The titles of the printed volumes vary during the course of the period, for example the changes of name between 'Yearbook', 'Annual' and 'Handbook', or when the Annual report and accounts were merged. Because of this bibliographic variation, items are grouped chronologically. Drawn from the BBC's Written Archives Centre at Caversham Park near Reading, the collection is accompanied by a by Dr Hugh Chignell of the Media School at Bournemouth University.
