One of our most popular video collections is the Television News Archive, which provides
access to more than 30,000 individual network evening news broadcasts from major US networks
from 1968 to the present. The collection is keyword searchable. Results
are organized by date, with information about the type of broadcast and the network that
aired it. Items with a video icon can be viewed instantly with Real Player or Real Alternative.
Other video collections include: Filmakers Library Online, which provides access
to hundreds of award-winning documentaries. American History in Video, a collection of
over 5,000 titles including commercial and governmental newsreels, archival footage,
and documentaries. And
The Visual History Archive, containing digitized interviews (both audio and video) taken with
survivors and witnesses of the Holocaust.
