Abstract:

Records of People's Video, a communications service founded in 1972 to provide technical training and public access programming for cable television in Madison, Wisconsin, in order to promote community dialogue and social change. The collection is largely composed of correspondence and grant proposals and other than unprocessed tapes and films there is little production material, although the photographs do document some productions. Of note are files on People's Video's involvement in the leasing of the Madison cable franchise to Complete Channel Television. Files on several related media organizations include Capital Media Associates, Feminists Against Media Oppression, and the Feminists Video Collective. The last-named includes some correspondence with feminist filmmaker Pamela Allen. Materials also document the organization's relationship to funding agencies, VISTA, and the Campaign for Human Development.
