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.
