San Francisco Bay Area Television Archive
The San Francisco Bay Area Television Archives is a collection of moving image materials, including local news, and selected documentaries and programs. Core collections include footage from three local television stations: the KQED (PBS affiliate) Film Archive, a collection 16 mm local newsfilm created between 1967-1980, as well as selected documentaries and other footage, the KPIX (CBS affiliate) Film Library, a collection of approximately 16 mm local newsfilm, and the KTVU (Fox affiliate) Film Library, a collection of selected 16 mm news footage created between 1960-1970. These three collections portray daily life, history, culture, and events in the San Francisco Bay Area from the early 1950s to 1980. Most of the local news footage consists of unedited outtakes and trims, rather than completed programs.
