The Trentino-Alto Adige Section of ANAI is engaged on an initiative designed to give greater visibility both to the association and to the heterogeneous world of regional archives. This is a joint venture launched with the cultural section of Radio RAI 2 Regione, the head of which enthusiastically welcomed a project drawn up by Roberta Giovanna Arcaini, an ANAI member and official of the Superintendency for Libraries and Archives of the autonomous province of Trento, where various local archives are located. Radio RAI agreed to present the initiative to its listeners and proposed a cycle of 13 monothematic broadcasts, each one devoted to a different repository located alternately in the provinces of Trento and Bolzano. The programmes are short interviews (of about 15 minutes) that not only outline the history of the archives in question and some of its more interesting and frequently consulted holdings but also give information about access (opening hours, location, etc.) and the research possibilities offered.

They are to broadcast on a weekly basis starting in January 2006 and first two programmes have already been recorded: an introductory presentation devoted to the ANAI at the national and regional levels and a description of the Trento Diocesan Archives, directed by Don Livio Sparapani. The other programmes will focus on the historical archives of Trento, Bolzano, Rovereto, Arco, Pergine, Riva del Garda, Bressanone, Chiusa and Merano as well as the Provincial Archives and Superintendency, the Trento State Archives, the archival section of the Trento Historical Museum, the archives of the Trentino Society of Mountain Climbers, the twentieth-century archives of the MART, the centre of documentation on the local history of Mezzocorona, the Historical Archives of the Province of Bolzano, and the Bolzano State Archives.

As a result of the many requests put forward at the annual meeting, a series of self-training conferences and meetings was organized for both members and non-members. The first was held in October on problems regarding the electronic protocol register. This is to be followed in January 2006 (at a date to be decided) by a round table at the Bolzano Municipal Archives addressing the rules and problems associated with the new versions of ISAD and ISAAR.
