Deirdre Boyle, historian and educator, testified at a 1996 hearing for the Report on the Study of American Television and Video, arguing that omission of video pioneers would render histories of American television and recent American social history incomplete and distorted. The page lists preservation resources: Video Preservation: The Basics by Sherry Miller Hocking and Mona Jimenez, described as an introduction covering cleaning, storage, cataloging and copyright and including glossaries, a bibliography and links; Reel to Real: A Case Study of BAVC's Remastering Model by Luke Hones, edited by Hocking and Jimenez; Looking Back / Looking Forward: A Symposium on Electronic Media Preservation; and selected historical texts on preservation.
