Keeping Records
The BBC's archiving policy for online material is to make best efforts to keep a record of the last 90 days of text-based output. BBC audio and video material which is reused online will be subject to the original 42 day and 90 day retention periods for BBC radio and TV as laid out in the Editorial Guidelines, see Section 17: Keeping content.
For technical reasons, live video and audio streams originated online may not be in a form which can be archived. There are also data protection issues about storing this material.
Further advice on implementing the policy can be obtained from New Media Archivist, Information and Archives.
