Could this scene have taken place in your shop?!?!?!?

Welcome to the website of the Visual Materials Section of the Society of American Archivists. We hope you find this site informative and the resources in it useful. The Visual Materials Section promotes communication among visual materials archivists, and represents and promotes appropriate care, management, and use of visual materials collections to the greater archival community through annual meetings, continuing education programs, publications, our VIEWS Magazine (http://saavms.org/views-archive/) and this web site.

Whether you are a member of the Section or of SAA or not, we welcome your use of this site and your input on what you find here. Get involved with your peers, learn from experienced colleagues, and help others by sharing your wisdom and knowledge. Many hands make light work, and bouncing ideas around as we do both in our meetings and via our online lists can very often produce amazing results, creative solutions, and efficiently and effectively round up information that would be impossible to assemble otherwise. Collectively we are more powerful than the sum of our individual parts.

Please also take a look at our facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/saavms?fref=ts) and follow us on Instagram (@SAAVMS)!

And if you have questions about who we are and what we do, please contact any of our 2017-2018 Steering Committee!

The Library of Congress and WGBH in Boston have embarked on a project to preserve for posterity the most significant public television and radio programs of the past 60 years: The American people have made a huge investment in public radio and television over many decades. The American Archive will ensure that this rich source for American political, social, and cultural history and creativity will be saved and made available once again to future generations.

Many public television and radio stations have donated their catalog records to the American Archive to help make it a one-stop aggregate database containing records from more than 120 entities. Materials can also be viewed online.

In addition to this, the site host special exhibits and collections curated by scholars and American Archive staff. One of my favorite special collections is the National Educational Television collection (americanarchive.org/special_collections/net-catalog). This collection contains records and video from the early days of public broadcasting. Currently 64 videos from this collection can be viewed online (tinyurl.com/y7uplxg8). I highly recommend visiting this site and exploring some of the treasures contained in this collection.

Please share (www.facebook.com/amarchivepub) this amazing resource on your individual page site and with your friends and family.
