Walter J. Brown Media Archives & Peabody Awards Collection

Free the Tapes, an event highlighting digitized audiovisual materials from members of the community, is back this fall at UGA Special Collections!

What is Free the Tapes?

You know that box of videotapes in your attic that you have no way of viewing? The archivists at the Brown Media Archives want to free your videos from their outdated formats so that you can access them again! "Free the Tapes" showcases these materials, in addition to a curated selection of home movies and amateur films from our vault.

On Tuesday, August 20th, at 5:30pm, join the Walter J. Brown Media Archives and Peabody Awards Collection for a screening of "Saving the Chattahoochee” at the University of Georgia Special Collections Libraries. Following the screening, director and filmmaker Hal Jacobs will discuss the documentary with author and former director of Chattahoochee Riverkeeper Sally Bethea, how the Media Archives assisted with the film, and take questions from the audience.
