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.

This enabled us to celebrate not only the 50th anniversary of the Shakespeare Festival (1950-1999) but also the 50th anniversary of the first use of the Globe replica (1951-2000). John Cranford Adams originally conceived the Globe Playhouse in the 1940s, and a model was subsequently built with the assistance of Irwin Smith. In fact, the Globe model was exhibited on campus in 1950 and was the reason and occasion for the first Shakespeare Festival.
