Buffalo Broadcasters Association needs
your help
with the Archiving Project!
For
several years, The Buffalo Broadcasters Association has been storing and is
now in the process of having gifted to us, all the old news film that went
into the preparation of newscasts on Channels 2 and 4 during the ‘60’s and
70’s. We are working on a plan to receive the U-matic tape that recorded
later efforts. This is an irreplaceable visual history of Western New York
during the time Buffalo was booming. It includes all the fires, political
maneuvering, and the day-to-day reporting that made up life in our area.
But the film continues to deteriorate and before it does so, we need to
catalog the miles of film, and transfer everything to digital memory. (Read

The Buffalo Broadcasters Association Archiving Project has recently
taken a step forward with the help of a brand new website dedicated to
the project.
The new
site was put together by the team of Amy Aderman, Dale Neimeier, and
Dean Angle; graduate students from the University at Buffalo.
Feel free to browse the
website, watch the videos and get a sense of what it is the Buffalo
Broadcasters are trying to accomplish with this historic undertaking.
