WSFA Collection
more...less...
"In the fall of 2019, WSFA donated its collection of historical news footage to the Alabama Department of Archives and History. Included are more than 7,000 audiovisual items recorded by camera operators from the 1950s to the 2000s, along with other materials such as scrapbooks, photographs, negatives, correspondence, and newsletters. The content documents almost every aspect of life in Alabama, providing a remarkable visual record of our state in the second half of the 20th century. The footage is especially rich in regard to state government and politics, but other topics such as sports, business, and society are also well represented."
