Iwi Radio and Access Radio

An arrangement has been made to facilitate access to the SANTK collections for Iwi broadcasters and Access Radio broadcasters and to increase the holdings and collection breadth at SANTK. To this end Iwi broadcasters and Access radio stations can access a 'reasonable amount' of audio in exchange for archivally important recordings. Contact info@soundarchives.co.nz

Obtaining Copyright Releases

Where copyright is held by RNZ the Schedule of Charges (below) will apply. In the case of material for which copyright is held by other bodies, copyright clearance must be sought. This applies largely to material broadcast in the first instance by other networks; or material bought by RNZ from other networks for which programme rights alone have been held; or material commissioned from independent producers.

Wherever possible staff at SA/NTK will direct clients to the copyright holder, or their agent. The onus is however on the client to obtain clearance, and permission to purchase duplicate material will be withheld if appropriate clearances cannot be obtained for whatever reason.

In the case of musical recordings featuring the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and its predecessors, recordings cannot be supplied without either the permission of the orchestra management (in the case of commercial or broadcast use), or the signing of a declaration supplied by SA/NTK (in the case of private listening or research use). For further details of this policy, contact the Chief Archivist.

Sound Archives does not undertake to provide copies of commercially released recordings, whether music or spoken word, whether or not copyright permission is obtained. Our business is the archiving of radio broadcast programmes, and we choose to devote our staff resources to these ends.
