  2. Portable Channel: Chronology (1998) Groups

    Chronology compiled by Pamela Susan Hawkins and Sherry Miller Hocking (1997–1998) documents the history of Portable Channel and its predecessor Media Equipment Pool in Rochester, NY. Portable Channel operated from 1971 through Fall 1987; activities included lending 1/2" portable production equipment, offering workshops and visiting-artist residencies, maintaining a community videotape library, publishing Feedback/Feedforward and producing Homemade TV for WXXI. Initial funding came from the New York State Council via the Rochester Museum and Science Center; later funding cuts from NYSCA and the NEA preceded its closure and transfer of equipment and collection to Visual Studies Workshop.
