Archives for today
San Francisco Bay Area Television Archive
The San Francisco Bay Area Television Archive, established in 1982, preserves more than 4,000 hours of newsfilm, documentaries, and other programs produced in northern California between 1939 and 2005. Among the treasures recently put online are 1960s films of James Baldwin and Maya Angelou and Marlon Brando speaking at the funeral of Black Panther Bobby Hutton. The Archive is part of San Francisco State University Library’s Department of Special Collections.
Open Video Studio
Intelligent Television has established a new Open Video Studio to cost-effectively produce more video resources for the open education and open content movement. The objectives of the Studio—based in New York but networking educational production facilities across the United States and abroad—are threefold:
* to evaluate the use of video in teaching and learning;
* to catalyze video production for education; and
* to build new tools—editing, annotation, search—for more cost-efficient video production and distribution.
