Preserving the Legacy of Educational and Public Media
Our Goal
Is to inform and encourage individuals and stations to preserve their legacies. Existing national archives prioritize the digitization of broadcast programs which is an essential first step in preserving the history of public broadcasting.
Our objective is to complement these national efforts by preserving the histories of people and the stations focusing at a local level.
This entails collaborating with people and stations to develop the necessary tools for preservation. And second, to facilitate the creation of mechanisms that will ensure these legacies are preserved and shared at the local, regional and national levels.
Why Should We Archive?
"Each PBS station holds a unique and irreplaceable legacy within its community, a sentiment shared by our station manager, Franz. Having a dedicated staff who understand and appreciate this legacy is crucial. Many of us have been here for a long time, developing a deep appreciation for the archive's value. This archive is more than just a collection of documents; it is a testament to the station's history and its significant impact on the community."
