Hi Kim, You mentioned that you got in touch with WGBH, did you try their Media Library and Archives department, the Open Vault Project? It appears that you can request the digitization of their archival programing if you are willing to cover the cost.
"Request Digitization of Audio Video or Transcript A feature that we introduced on the Boston TV News Digital Library website (bostonlocaltv.org) is the ability to request that a program be digitized. As part of this Open Vault relaunch, we're including the ability to request a digital transcript be made of a program as well. How it works is if you register for a free account on Open Vault, when you navigate to a page where no video is streaming and/or no transcript is viewable, you have the ability to pay for the digitization yourself by clicking the "Request Digitization" or "Request Transcription" button. This will send an email to the WGBH MLA staff and someone will be in contact with you about how much it would cost you to make that request digitized and available on Open Vault (rights permitting). Think of it as a sponsorship of the preservation of the asset as well as helping to pay to make it accessible for everyone on the internet." http://blog.openvault.wgbh.org/ "Deadly Deception" http://openvault.wgbh.org/catalog/openvault:20169 "The Death of Nancy Cruzan" http://openvault.wgbh.org/catalog/openvault:16364 Amanda Timolat Media Librarian Baruch College Library 151 E 25th Street New York, NY 10010 -----Original Message----- From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2014 1:21 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: videolib Digest, Vol 84, Issue 4 Send videolib mailing list submissions to videolib@lists.berkeley.edu To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://calmail.berkeley.edu/manage/list/listinfo/videolib@lists.berkeley.edu or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to videolib-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu You can reach the person managing the list at videolib-ow...@lists.berkeley.edu When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of videolib digest..."

For the first one, I've contacted FFH, WGBH and ABC News with no luck. I tried PBS and attempted to contact someone at CBS news for the second film. I'm writing to see if anyone here has any contacts or information that might help. Thanks! Kim Linkous St. Louis Community College **** VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
