An historian intends to digitise the archival footage of Mildura taken from the former TV news building, which he says is oftentimes 'the only coverage' of local past events.
"The original materials are news film, and then later on, there was news film and commercial film, which used to make the ads so all of that materials been stored at WIN TV, since it was on TV.
Oftentimes, Mr MacWilliams said, videographers at STV8 and WIN News were responsible for capturing the only footage of Mildura events."Everything was created for local TV. It was for local consumption so when something happened in history, a news item happened in town, STV8 was sent out and they filmed it.
Head of collections and preservation at ACMI Melbourne Nick Richardson said regional material was a critically important part of the national screen museum's collection."We've been instrumental in taking quite a bit of that [Ballarat's] original footage from the past six years and attempting and beginning to preserve that.
