TVNZ archive titles would be a subset of the figures for 2019 onwards which record all audio visual material processed. As the TVNZ material has often been categorised as "at risk" I've always assumed that they make up a majority of titles being preserved each year, as one stated aim is to have 200,000 at risk tapes digitalised by 2025; thus it is great to see that according the 2023/24 Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision annual report over 95% of the TVNZ magnetic media collection has now been digitised.
Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision says it has 836,564 titles in their collection, and the stated aim of the Utaina project is digitising 321,412 items of sound and vision material in the collection; so far the project has digitized 64% (208,918) of these.
