Recent proliferation of large radioastronomical source surveys and resulting data products are reviewed, and attention is drawn to their poor archival status. First practical steps are proposed to establish a radio source data base from published source catalogues, proceeding with time from the bigger and recent ones to the smaller and older ones. At later stages the data base could assimilate unpublished data, spectral-line data and also images.
