Some of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation’s archive is finally available, sort of, search engine Sesam announced today (via Aftenposten). Clips from TV and radio broadcasts are now included in search results. Obviously a good thing, but what we would like to see online is of course the whole archive, at least of news broadcasts. One could start with radio news and current affairs, where it’s hard to imagine copyright issues. The thought of being able to search and browse NRK radio all the way back – a fantastic resource for schools, universities, journalists and the general public. And it must of course be free, since the public has already paid for it with the compulsory licence fee.
