Power of the VHS II: The Future of Recording TV & Radio Off-Air

The Power of the VHS II: The Future of Recording TV & Radio Off-Air forum was held at the Sparkbox, London on Thursday 16 December 2010.

The forum saw the launch of a national VHS initiative, led by the BUFVC, which will provide an economical and comprehensive solution for the retention and migration of unique, and sometimes irreplaceable, VHS recordings held by institutions.
