The C-SPAN Archives records, indexes, and archives all C-SPAN
programming for historical, educational, research, and archival uses.
The Archives began within the Purdue University School of Liberal Arts
in 1987. In July 1998, C-SPAN assumed responsibility for the archival
operations and the facilities were moved from the Purdue University campus
to the Purdue Research Park in West Lafayette, Indiana.
Over 80,000 hours of C-SPAN programming,
every program aired since 1987,
are contained in the C-SPAN Archives and
immediately accessible through the database and electronic
archival systems developed and maintained by the
C-SPAN Archives.
The Archives records both C-SPAN networks seven days a week,
24-hours a day. Programs are extensively indexed making the
database of C-SPAN programming an unparalleled chronological
resource. Programs are indexed by subject, speaker names,
titles, affiliations, sponsors, committees, categories,
formats, policy groups, keywords, and location. The
video collection can be searched at C-SPAN Archives
Duplicate copies of most C-SPAN programs that have aired
since 1987 can be obtained and used for education, research,
review or home viewing purposes. Proceeds from the sale of
these programs help support the operation of the Archives.
Some programs are not copyright cleared for sale. The
indexing, abstracting, and cataloging of C-SPAN programs is
the responsibility of the C-SPAN Archives
staff.
