It does seem an inappropriate word to use - I would have preferred "collection" or "preservation".

If anything the BBC should be seeking an official pardon for throwing away and wiping so many valuable tapes in the first place!

I resent the use of the word "amnesty" - I don't consider that I need an officious "pardon" for having recorded dramas in the 60s and 70s which the BBC have subsequently lost. And implying that I do is not the way to encourage me to give them anything.
