YSTV has video archive material dating back to the mind 1970s at the moment, although we can't play anything older than about 1984. Any contributions of material, or help accessing older formats would be greatly appreciated (if you've wondered off with any tapes from your time at York, [[YSTV tape confessional|we forgive you]]). In total 8 analogue and 3.5 digital formats are represented in the archive. | YSTV has video archive material dating back to the mind 1970s at the moment, although we can't play anything older than about 1984.
