But what value do amateur video-recordings of television have at their late stage of obsolescence? This article outlines some of the discursive parameters surrounding the perceived use-value of amateur video-recordings of television, drawing on case studies of video collection projects that are divided on the question of whether amateur television video-recordings continue to have merit.

For Marion, taping was a form of activism to seek the truth and she believed that a comprehensive archive of the media would one day be invaluable. Her visionary and maddening project nearly tore her family apart, but now her 70,000 VHS tapes are being digitized for future generations. Long Synopsis Marion Stokes was secretly recording American television twenty-four hours a day for thirty years. It started in 1979 with the Iranian Hostage Crisis at the dawn of the twenty-four hour news cycle. It ended on December 14, 2012 while the Sandy Hook massacre played on television as Marion passed away. In between, Marion recorded on 70,000 VHS tapes, capturing revolutions, lies, wars, triumphs, catastrophes, bloopers, talk shows, and commercials that tell us who we were, and show how television shaped the world of today. Before the era of “fake news,” Marion was fighting to protect the truth by archiving everything that was said and shown on television. The public didn’t know it, but the networks were disposing their archives for decades into the trashcan of history.

Popp Although the VCR is often written about in scholarly literature, it is usually discussed in relation to Hollywood videotapes and rental stores. This study fills a gap in the current literature by presenting a significant history of the VCR in relation to TV during the period regularly referred to as the VCR’s first decade, 1975 to 1985. Specifically, this study is a look at the divergent discourses of the TV industry and the public opinion of TV viewership during this early era that offer insight into how we have come to contemporarily conceptualize TV.

  • Get in the first Two Months of the Year
    Information Services & Use 40 (2020) 201–208 201 DOI 10.3233/ISU-200085 IOS Press Preservation and archiving of digital media Clifford B. Anderson∗ Associate University Librarian for Research and Digital Strategy, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, USA Abstract. This paper provides a brief history of the Vanderbilt Television News Archive that was established in 1968 with the goal of recording and preserving national news programming on the three major networks at the time (ABC, NBC, and CBS). The archive has faced several challenges as it evolved (it now covers representative news from the Fox and CNN cable networks) - most notably financial and legal issues – who really “owns” the news? Even today archiving digital news remains financially and legally challenged as the number of news networks increase and privacy laws emerge, resulting in the creation of “piracy archives”. The author also touches on the many ongoing issues that need to be addressed; e.g. the number of copies to be created, the importance of metadata, the technical requirements, what qualifies for preservation, and the ever-present issue of sustainability. Keywords: Digital archiving, digital preservation, television news archive, piracy archives, preservation sustainability 1. Introduction The preservation of digital media is a broad topic and, as an archival practitioner rather than theorist, my goal in this paper is to share my perspective on digital preservation as administrator of a long-running digital preservation project, the Vanderbilt Television News Archive. While my focus is on the preservation of television news, I trust that our experiences at the Vanderbilt Television News Archive provide a helpful case study of the challenges of digital media of all kinds.

The collection is housed by the Marian Library, a special library devoted to the study of the Blessed Virgin Mary, located at the University of Dayton. Mary gardens, a practice with roots in medieval Europe, includes planting flowers symbolic of the Blessed Virgin Mary and dedicating gardens to her. In 1951 the modern Mary’s Gardens movement was revitalized by John S. Stokes and his associate Edward A. G. McTague. Through Stokes and McTague’s tireless research and promotion, the movement proliferated among American Catholics during the mid-to-late twentieth century.
