“The Archivability of Television” provides a critical examination of archives and archival practices that gather, organize, and safeguard aspects of television considered historically, culturally, socially, politically, and economically important.

What do we understand about the transition of television from fleeting broadcasts and stacks of documents to recognized historical artifacts stored in archives? The foundational ideas of this collection revolve around exploring where television as a historical artifact “resides” and gathering narratives on how the preservation of television has been, and continues to be, situational and unique.

Uniting the contributions of scholars, archivists, and professionals, these essays present perspectives on the archival process that attributes historical significance to television programs. Centered on the archival settings of television, this book investigates the connections between technology and culture, the political economy surrounding cultural industries, and the specifics of television’s role within American society.
