Abstract

When embarking on a research project where television texts are the object of study, theoretical issues invariably clash with those of a more practical nature. Finding out about the location and accessibility of the material is not as straightforward as it may seem. Only recently, and rather tentatively, has a map of audiovisual archives in Italy begun to emerge and new projects are still under way. Another difficulty is posed by limited accessibility: both public and private archives may have very restrictive rules and regulations and catalogues themselves are far from being clear and comprehensive, since only reusable material is usually catalogued and often different criteria have been employed over the years. Technology can be a further hindrance when the technical equipment is no longer available or compatible to view the material. On the opposite other hand, the enormous amount of material available and issues related to royalties pose practical and methodological questions of selection and sampling (Cicognetti et al. 7-12).
