Manuscripts are one of the more interesting collections in The Barco Library. These are unique, primary resource materials that can give insight into an individual, a company or an association. A few of the collections that one can find in The Library are the early records of the launch of Oxygen Network, CTAM's Mark Awards dating back to the 1980s, early correspondence with Ed Parsons, one of the first cable television pioneers and the research notes of Thomas Soutwick, author of Distant Signals. 

The Hauser Oral and Video History Collection has a new look on The Cable Center's website. Videos and audios are much easier to use and we have added general subjects that we hope we prove useful. We will continue to add further information and more videos to the website. We can also use your help. Please let us know if you find a name of an individual or company that has been mispelled and we will make the correction. Enjoy reading about the history of cable television and telecommunications!

Please visit The Cable Center's new website www.cablecenter.org.   It has a great new look and you will be able to locate the various departments with greater ease. Let us know how you like the site.
