Archival history
Standard Reference: ISAD(G) 3.2.3 Format: Free text Purpose: To provide information on the history of the unit of description that is significant for its authenticity, integrity, and interpretation. Rule: Record the successive transfers of ownership, responsibility, and/or custody of the unit of description and indicate those actions, such as the history of the arrangement, production of contemporary finding aids, re-use of the records for other purposes or software migrations, that have contributed to its present structure and arrangement. Give the dates of these actions, insofar as they can be ascertained. If the archival history is unknown, record that information. Optionally, when the unit of description is acquired directly from the creator, do not record an archival history but rather, record this information as the Immediate source of acquisition. (See following rule). Example: After the death of Rodolf Hervé in 2000, the Hi8 video recordings were transferred to the custody of Lucien and Judith Hervé (parents of Rodolf Hervé) by colleague and cameraman Tamás Szűcs. The Hervé family donated them to C³ Center for Culture & Communication Foundation (Budapest, Hungary), where they were digitized into DVD format. On the Hervé family's request, these DVDs were copied and the copies were transferred to and deposited with the OSA Archivum in 2004. In 2012, the DVD format files were converted into MPEG-4 files.

A felbecsülhetetlen értékű és egyedülálló videó- és textuális anyag első szállítmánya 2011-ben került az OSA-ba, amikor a Fekete Doboz 90 rövid dokumentumfilmjét, az 1989-es Ellenzéki Kerekasztal Tárgyalásokat dokumentáló videófelvételeit és ezek elektronikus átiratait, a Magyar Televízió által 1989-ben gyártott és sugárzott hír- és egyéb politikai műsorokat, illetve a Fekete Doboz 1988-89-ben készített nyers, vágatlan filmjeit adta át az OSA-nak. További szállítmányok érkeztek 2012 és 2015 között, köztük a felbecsülhetetlen értékű 1988 és 2008 között forgatott kamera eredeti, nyers és vágatlan videók, a hozzájuk kapcsolódó szkriptlisták, valamint a Fekete Doboz összes vágott dokumentumfilmje.
