about this collection public broadcasting web archive digital

This collection includes websites associated with U.S. public broadcasting entities and complements American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB), a collaboration between the Library of Congress and GBH, a public media station in Boston, Massachusetts. Public media stations form the bulk of the collection, providing information on programming, personnel, station history, community affairs, and relevant education-related resources. This collection includes websites from both public radio and public television. Many of the station websites included in this collection are participants in the AAPB. An effort has been made to include websites dedicated to the stations’ own archives and may include video and sound recordings not represented in the AAPB.

Also included are websites of organizations devoted primarily to funding, producing, distributing, promoting, and providing news about public broadcasting. Collection Period: May 2019 to present (this is an ongoing archive). Frequency of Collection: The majority of sites in the collection were added to crawl on a weekly basis, with some crawled on a monthly basis. Languages: Collection material in English and Spanish. Acquisition Information: Sites have been added incrementally since the project began and will continue to be added as they are identified. The Library of Congress is making its Web Archives Collection available for educational and research purposes.

To date, over 160,000 digital files of television and radio programming contributed by more than 550 public media organizations, producers, and archives across the United States have been preserved and made accessible for long-term... The entire collection is available on location at the Library of Congress and GBH, and more than 100,000 files are available online. Discover GBH's news archive in the Boston TV News Digital Library, a collaboration between GBH, the Boston Public Library, Cambridge Community Television, and Northeast Historic Film. The Boston TV News Digital Library makes available local news stories produced in and about Boston from 1960 to 2000. Nearly 2,000 news programs are available online. GBH Stock Sales is the clip licensing division of the GBH Media Library and Archives.

Stock Sales licenses originally shot GBH footage and web content to television producers, publishers and professional media organizations. On the GBH Stock Sales and Licensing website, producers and filmmakers can search rights-ready clips and discover additional material available for licensing by GBH. Another option for access to content via the streaming databases is to have students access the films directly. A benefit to this method is that students will (most likely) not have issues with broken or not proxied links to content. Students can access the streaming database directly if you provide them with the NYU library permalink to the database. To access the library permalink:

You can then access the streaming database you would like to direct students to and on the right hand side of the database title there is a share icon. Click on the icon to copy and paste the database permalink on your syllabus, email, or NYU Brightspace site. You can then provide the students with the streaming database permalink and the title of the film you would like them to view. They will need to authenticate in order to access the database, which will cause fewer issues with access. The American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB) is a collaboration between the Library of Congress and WGBH Educational Foundation, founded through the efforts of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). The AAPB is a national effort to digitally preserve and make accessible historically significant public radio and television programs created over the past 70+ years.

The archive comprises over 120 collections from contributing stations and original producers from US states and territories.[1] As of April 2020,[update] the collection includes nearly 113,000 digitized items preserved on-site at the Library of... Funders include the CPB, the Council on Library and Information Resources, and Institute of Museum and Library Services.[3] The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) began inventorying US public media content in 2007. By 2013, 2.5 million items had been inventoried including 40,000 hours of broadcasting which was being digitized with funding from the CPB.[8] An advisory council, which included Ken Burns, John W. Carlin, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Cokie Roberts, Stephen D. Smith, Margaret Spellings, Howard Stringer, and Jesús Salvador Treviño, recommended that a collaboration between WGBH and the Library of Congress form and operate the archive.[9]

In the first phase of the project, which began in 2013, the Archive will complete the digitization of 40,000 hours of radio and television programs and select an additional 5,000 hours of born-digital programs... The collection will be made available to the public on-site in Washington, D.C. and in Boston. A rights clearance strategy will be developed to comply with legal restrictions, including copyright law and a website will provide public access to much of the collection.[10] Programs from National Educational Television (NET), which operated from 1952 through 1972, are being cataloged in a project scheduled to be completed in 2018. 8,000–10,000 NET titles are expected to be cataloged and an incomplete preliminary list is currently online.[11]

Since 2013, the Library of Congress and the WGBH Educational Foundation have created the American Archive of Public Broadcasting. This online digital archive now features over 150,000 works from public television and public radio programs dating from 1940 to the present. You can search, browse, and learn more about the archive at their website: americanarchive.org. We recently spent a fair amount of time browsing the entire archive of over 150,000 titles and picked out about 60 of their best offerings to add to our LearnOutLoud Free Audio & Video... You can browse what we added here: Over 50 of the Best Programs from the American Archive of Public Broadcasting

Much of the archive features local public TV and radio programs and dated news programs (like over 16,000 episodes of the PBS NewsHour). So, sifting through it all, we tried to pick out programs that would still be interesting to a wider audience. We selected programs and series featuring authors and thinkers who are still popular today. Most of the titles we selected are on video, while some are public radio programs on audio. One of the best collections from the archive is the Bill Moyers Collection featuring over 800 programs produced by public television giant Bill Moyers (who passed away earlier this year at the age of... We’ve selected many titles from that collection.

For each title, we’ve embedded their audio/video player so you can play them through our site or click through to the American Archive of Public Broadcasting. So here are the titles that we added in no particular order. We’ll start with the series and collections and move on to the individual programs. Healing and the Mind with Bill Moyers – We’ve blogged about this 1993 series previously, which is a 5-part documentary on various aspects of the mind-body connection. The American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB) is a collaboration between the Library of Congress and WGBH Educational Foundation. It was founded in 2013 “to coordinate a national effort to identify, preserve, and make accessible as much as possible the historical record of publicly funded broadcasting in the U.S.” It now features contributors...

The AAPB digital collections are available for online streaming and contain more than 50,000 public television and radio programs from the late 1930s to the present day, including interviews with leading political and cultural...
