The Vanderbilt Television News Archive is available to college and university libraries in the United States through a sponsorship agreement. The partnership provides online access to over 62,000 hours of television news content. Students, faculty and staff associated with sponsoring colleges and universities are able to view the Archive's collection of NBC material, ranging from August 5, 1968 to the present and CNN broadcasts beginning in 1989 to present. Individuals associated with a sponsoring college or university access the Archive's full database through convenient IP authentication.
The cost of sponsorship varies according to the size of the college or university. Discounted pricing, as reflected in the fee structure, has been made possible through the Archive’s arrangements with consortia. Sponsoring colleges or universities will need to sign a Library Agreement.
If you a member of a college or university in the United States, ask your electronic resource librarian to contact us to get connected.
Paid Sponsorships provide support to the Archive necessary for it to continue its important work. The Vanderbilt Television News Archive continues to serve as the only comprehensive off-air archive of the news broadcasts of the U.S. national television networks.
Trial sponsorships are available upon request. Please contact us if you would like more information.
