The Television News Archive collection at Vanderbilt University is the world's most extensive and complete archive of television news. Individuals may make requests for video tape loans for reference, study, classroom instruction, and research. We offer DVDs or videotapes that are duplications of entire broadcasts as well as compilation tapes of individual news stories specified by the borrower. Borrowers pay fees for the items loaned to cover the costs of providing this service.


All material of the Television News Archive must be used within the restrictions of the United States copyright legislation. Copyright Public Law 94-553 includes provisions regarding copyright of audiovisual works and archiving of television news broadcasts.

You can view a bibliography of articles about the Archive and of published research projects that have used the Archive as a resource.
