Presence on Prestel, 1980s

The request was partially successful.

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,

Back in the 1980s, you had an on-line presence on the BT “Prestel” viewdata service, available under node 401, as "BBC Data", according to the Prestel Directory October 1983.

I am requesting any surviving documentation and data relating to this project, with emphasis on the pages as published on Prestel. If these are available in their original digital form, perhaps for instance in the form of a back-up tape or disc from the system that was used to create them, or as a surviving tape as may have been sent to BT for upload to the system, then a copy of these would be especially welcome.

Should there be any issues relating to the cost or time taken to fulfilling this request, then please consider my request to be limited to digital form of the published pages.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours faithfully,

Rob O'Donnell
