C-Span Checks Out Presidential Libraries

Broadcasting & Cable notes C-SPAN is teaming with the National Archives on a 12-week series, Presidential Libraries: History Uncovered.

As its name suggests, the series will tap the resources of the 12 libraries–actually airing live from each one for the Friday night 8-10 p.m. show–to provide some rarely, or in some cases never-before, aired home movies, audio, photos, documents and other artifacts.

C-SPAN will digitize more than 1,000 rare recordings and steam them over its Web site.
