Bratslavsky This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs (United States) License. iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Lauren Michelle Bratslavsky Doctor of Philosophy School of Journalism and Communication September 2013 Title: From Ephemeral to Legitimate: An Inquiry into Television’s Material Traces in Archival Spaces, 1950s -1970s The dissertation offers a historical inquiry about how television’s material traces entered archival spaces. Material traces refer to both the moving image products and the assortment of documentation about the processes of television as industrial and creative endeavors. By identifying the development of television-specific archives and collecting areas in the 1950s to the 1970s, the dissertation contributes to television studies, specifically pointing out how television materials were conceived as cultural and historical materials “worthy” of preservation and academic study.
