Mellon Supports Vanderbilt University's Workshop on TV News Preservation
Archivists, librarians and TV news professionals will make the journey to Vanderbilt University next year to discuss the future of preserving broadcast television news. With funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Vanderbilt will host the two-day “Sustaining Television News Preservation for the Next Generation” workshop, with the goal of developing new strategies for sustaining library-based broadcast preservation.
The workshop’s principal investigators—Clifford B. Anderson, associate university librarian for research and learning at Vanderbilt University; and Bernard Reilly, president of the Center for Research Libraries—will work with participants to examine and address the technical, legal and economic challenges of preserving broadcast television news. . .
