C-SPAN Video Library to Open Doors to Network's Entire Archive

C-SPAN will announce Wednesday that its entire video archive — consisting of more than 160,000 hours and spanning five presidential administrations and 23 years — has been uploaded to its C-SPAN Video Library, The New York Times reported.

The public-affairs cable network’s archive staff is based in an office park in West Lafayette, Ind., working around the clock on two machines that can turn 16 hours of tapes into digital files per hour, according to the Times, and they are currently finishing the 1987 catalog.
