In order to gain a general appreciation of the volume of audiovisual collections throughout the country and conditions under which they are kept, the Task Force carried out a survey (the first of its kind in Canada) of such repositories. Unfortunately, the tight timeframe did not allow for a more thorough preparation of the survey (the entire process, including return time for responses, took seven months), nor did it allow for a survey of all identified potential holders of audiovisual collections; instead, a selection had to be made. Selection of the sample The survey was designed to elicit information on audiovisual archival holdings from the following general types of organizations: The names and addresses of the organizations to be surveyed were taken from the following sources: ! a list of organizations known to the survey managers but not found on the other lists. Names were not drawn randomly from the above lists. Instead, they were selected with the general goal of ensuring that most of the major or otherwise prominent organizations were included along with a representative cross-section of the smaller ones. Because the lists used in selecting the respondents were not mutually exclusive, care was taken to ensure that organizations were selected no more than once.-2-For broadcasters, the sample of respondents was selected from the networks as well as from those radio stations that were already in existence in 1955, the cutoff date for television stations was 1965. Large organizations such as the CBC were considered to contain a number of separate archives. Each individual station was viewed as a separate potential respondent. In general, the sample was designed to include the bulk of the largest and/or most important archives and audiovisual industry organizations in Canada. The responses can therefore be considered as grossly indicative of the situation with the larger and more important organizations and fairly representative of the organizations with medium and small collections. The overall result of this sampling strategy is that though the sample of organizations surveyed is not totally representative of the universe of all audiovisual holdings, it does nevertheless constitute a reasonable preliminary survey of significant audiovisual holdings in Canada. It is important to keep in mind, however, that in the entire Canadian audiovisual universe the amount of audiovisual materials in small and medium size organizations may dwarf the holdings in larger organizations. Table 1 shows the major lists used in drawing the …
