AMIA and NATAS Local Television Project Survey.

The Association of Moving Image Archivists and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences

Local Television Project Survey.

In 1999, the AMIA Board of Directors approved the creation of an ad hoc task force to focus on mapping a strategy to address the problems of preserving local television. In particular, the task force is to mount a "Local Television Case Studies and Symposium" project that would join archivists and local television producing entities in discussing issues and making recommendations that will impact the preservation of local television in the United States.

We are not asking for a great deal of detail at this time, but are trying to identify the location of holdings throughout the United States. We are interested in all forms of local television, including news, documentaries, entertainment programming, interviews, children's programming, sports programming, advertising, and anything else that is produced locally. The primary qualification is that the programming could have been initially distributed by broadcast or cable locally.

AMIA and NATAS would like to acknowledge the considerable financial support for this project provided by the NHPRC.
