Records of National Educational Television (NET), a private
organization underwritten by the Ford Foundation which provided programming for the nation's
public broadcasting stations. Originally known as the National Educational Television and
Radio Center, NET's activities developed from program acquisition to production, station
activation, and a wide variety of services until it functioned as a virtual fourth network.
The collection includes correspondence, memoranda, scripts, reports, clippings, photographs,
financial records, minutes, and publicity. There are, however, only a limited number of
tapes and films. Coverage is incomplete at the highest administrative level, but it is
significant for station activation, affiliate relations, and programming. There is also
information on NET's on-going self-evaluation and financial shortages; its relations with
other organizations concerned with public broadcasting; and its public information,
development, and research activities.
There are more than 100 cubic feet of unprocessed accessions, see catalog for more
information.
