SAVE THAT TAPE!
Co-produced by the LABF and the National Association of Broadcasters, Preserving Broadcast History was recorded at NAB Studios last year with LABF Co-chairman Jack Goodman and NAB’s April Carty-Sipp hosting. In the 30-minute video, Dr. Laura Schnitker joins University of Maryland Libraries colleague Mike Henry in encouraging stations and networks to save their old film, tapes, disks and printed matter for documentarians, podcasters, scholars, biographers, historians, students, genealogists, producers and others. Institutions like UMD are ready to help, they say. Stations often fail to recognize the value of the material that piles up in their storage rooms, says Schnitker, “Once a station changes format or management, which happens all the time, they’ll just chuck everything into a dumpster.”
