Cybc radio takes public through the archives

In celebration of International Archives Day – on June 9 – the Historical Archive of the Bank of Cyprus – Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation is organising a lecture dedicated to the Archive of the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC).

The lecture, by the head of CyBC Phivia Savva, will examine the relation between the content of the archive and the contemporary history of the island and wider Hellenism. The speech will be accompanied by the projection of archival material, which is partly unpublished and has rarely been seen.

In the same framework, a presentation will take place about the process of archiving TV and radio historical documents, as well as of the progression of the CyBC Archive through time. Reference will also be made to activities of maintaining and promoting archival wealth, including the case of Digital Herodotus that has enabled the demonstration of exclusive records from the 1974 period.

The event will be broadcast live on CyBC1.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
