The collection holds more than 30,000 individual network evening news broadcasts from the major U.S. national broadcast networks: ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN, and more than 9,000 hours of special news-related programming including ABC's Nightline since 1989. These special reports and periodic news broadcasts cover presidential press conferences and political campaign coverage, and national and international events such as the Watergate hearings, the plight of American hostages in Iran, the Persian Gulf war, and the terrorist attack on the United States on September 11, 2001. Since the University Libraries subscribe to this service, UNL students, faculty & staff have access to online video from the Archive's collection of CNN material. Video tape loans for reference, study, classroom instruction, and research from the rest of the collection can be made for a fee.
