Making Television History More Accessible: Exploring New Research Tools in the Vanderbilt Television News Archive

Monday April 20, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am PDT

This workshop will demonstrate how journalism scholars can engage with the newly upgraded Vanderbilt Television News Archive for efficient research of over 1 million TV news stories from U.S. broadcasters dating back to 1968. New features improve search capabilities of story-level titles and abstracts and full broadcast transcripts and enable easy check-out of individual stories for virtual viewing. The team will also present new data services that make complex computational analysis of the collection possible.
