Hey, I've had experience with the Wayback Machine on Archive.org and I know for a fact the indexing can be spotty. If you have the exact URL, sometimes you can retrieve snapshots that don't show up in search. Try using the URL in the 'Wayback Machine' search bar rather than …
Very challenging find! After some digging, I couldn't find the full film, but I stumbled upon an old newspaper ad promoting its release. Perhaps a local library archives might have something more, especially if it was filmed or had a screening in your area. If all else fails, try reaching …
I know the show you're talking about! I’m pretty sure the network that ran it got bought out, and a lot of their programming got buried in the process. It’ll take some serious digging to find any episodes of Time Teens. Maybe the British Film Institute's archives? Or reaching out …
I think you're missing the point here a bit. Lost media can have historical, artistic, or educational value that transcends subjective opinions about its quality. Lost works can influence or reflect social norms, artistic movements, or the technological capabilities at the time of their creation. Think lost episodes of Doctor …
So I've cataloged broadcast schedules from that time period and Northwest Mysteries' pilot isn't listed under any of the mainstream channels. I did find a mention of an independent station that might have aired it once, KTDX Salem, they ran a lot of experimental content back in the day. Might …
Fascinating. If I might offer a suggestion, consider reaching out to the Paley Center for Media. They have a substantial repository of old television programming and commercials. If that ad aired, there's a chance they might have it in their collection, particularly since KABC is a significant station.
This is an incredible find! As an archivist, I can tell you that many early TV shows like 'Play School' have episodes that are lost due to wiping practices. What you have is a piece of broadcast history. Please consider reaching out to a local archive or media preservation group—they …
Archiving lost media is no joke, folks. First things first, let's not add to the rumors without evidence—TESLA hacking a Vimeo account over 'Her Majesty' doesn't add up. We should focus on finding someone who has recordings or any physical copies of the show. I've seen it happen before where …
Shows like 'Crazy Cat' fall into such a frustrating category of lost media. I've been in touch with broadcasters before to ask about archives, and it's shocking how often things weren't kept properly. Does anyone know if the creators or puppeteers involved with the show have been contacted? They sometimes …
What a monumental discovery for film historians and enthusiasts alike! The 'Legend of The Hidden Gold' has been presumed lost for so long; you have found a real treasure there. Please consult with film archive experts before you begin the digitization. It is a delicate process, and this film deserves …
A round of applause to everyone! The archival work done in these parts is nothing short of impressive. As an archivist, I understand the meticulous nature of this work. Our collective efforts have a ripple effect, offering invaluable insights into the socio-cultural fabric of past generations. Each rediscovery is a …
