9. Imperative Need
The audiovisual records of the 20th century are increasingly
at risk.
The 2012 National Recording Preservation Plan stated that
“many endangered analog formats must be digitized within
the next 15 or 20 years before further degradation makes
preservation efforts all but impossible.”
As this report was years in the making, we may now have
no more than 10 to 15 years to preserve this material.
Moreover, “audiovisual materials are the fastest-growing
segment of our nation’s archives and special collections,” as
reported by the Library of Congress.
10. 20+ years
ago…
Public television has been responsible for the
production, broadcast, and dissemination of
some of the most important programs which
in aggregate form the richest audiovisual
source of cultural history in the United States.
. . . [I]t is still not easy to overstate the
immense cultural value of this unique
audiovisual legacy, whose loss would
symbolize one of the great conflagrations of
our age, tantamount to the burning of
Alexandria’s library in the age of antiquity.
-Television and Video Preservation (1997), a
Library of Congress report
11. Cultural heritage
at stake
“I’ve long been
frustrated…gaining access to
the vast audiovisual record of
my period.”
”Working to document recent
American history without
access to the pictures has
been a real challenge.”
“Key historical moments and
events are lost to us forever.”

stories, no one of which can be considered

discovering common values” among many
historians of the 1960s and 1970s

really been history”
- Kim Phillips-Fein, “1973 to the Present,”
in American History Now (2011)
