The Reith Lectures Archive
In June 2011 BBC Radio 4 announced the publication of the BBC's Reith Lectures archive. This included the publication of two podcasts featuring over 240 lectures from 1948 to the present day, as well as streamed online audio, and the complete written transcripts to the entire Reith Lectures archive:
- Podcast 1: Reith Lectures Archive 1948 - 1975
- Podcast 2: Reith Lectures Archive 1976 - 2010
- Reith Lectures 1948 - 2010 Written Transcripts
- In Pictures: The BBC Reith Lectures
The BBC said it had discovered some of the audio archive of the Reith Lectures was missing from its library and appealed to the public to contact the production team if they owned copies of any of the missing lectures.

Famous quotes containing the words lectures and/or archive:
“I love man-kind, but I hate the institutions of the dead unkind. Men execute nothing so faithfully as the wills of the dead, to the last codicil and letter. They rule this world, and the living are but their executors. Such foundation too have our lectures and our sermons, commonly.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“To a historian libraries are food, shelter, and even muse. They are of two kinds: the library of published material, books, pamphlets, periodicals, and the archive of unpublished papers and documents.”
—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
