Administrative / biographical background

Policy responsibility for the creative industries - broadly defined - passed to DCMS upon its establishment in 1992 from a variety of different government departments, including the Office of Arts and Libraries (arts, libraries and some aspects of film); the Home Office (broadcasting) and the Department of Trade and Industry (film). This series also contains records relating to the Creative Industries Taskforce, a cross departmental body involving DCMS. Its aim was to provide a forum in which Government Ministers could come together with senior industry figures to assess the value of creative industries and identify ways of maximising their economic impact.
