"The Jamaica Archives and Records Department continues to give invaluable support to government entities in the management of their records and is sacred ground to researchers”. This was stated by the Hon. Olivia Grange, Minister of Information, Culture, Youth and Sports in her presentation to Parliament during the sectoral debate on June 17, 2008.
The Minister went on to highlight the work of the Audio Visual Unit of the Archives as she said that it “remains a tremendous asset through their care and preservation of the former JBC Audio Visual Collection. This is now showcased on PBC Jamaica, bringing to the forefront the rich and diverse productions of the early years of broadcasting in Jamaica featuring many of our legends” She also noted that the Government had increased the monetary support to the Archives by over 15%.
