The archive is prized for its coverage of the Civil Rights Movement and Massive Resistance efforts in Virginia, but it also features a wide-ranging selection of stories depicting mid-20th-century life within the state. The rest of the estimated 13,000 clips and 18,000 pages of anchor scripts are expected to be uploaded through the remainder of the year. The first 3,600 news clips of the WSLS-TV News Film Collection are online already at the collection’s Virgo homepage. The collection also can be searched by the dates of the news stories. The WSLS news film collection is available to the public through the library’s online catalog, Virgo. Each news story is searchable by both keywords and controlled subject terms. “This was a significant collaborative effort,” University Librarian and Dean of Libraries Karin Wittenborg said. “It’s a privilege to preserve and make available this important part of history.

The audiovisual archive, which includes 20 years of WSLS news stories broadcast from 1951 to 1971, is expected to become an invaluable resource for historical researchers, documentary filmmakers and educators, who are now able to access the diverse collection.
