  In 1986, NBC donated more than18,000 16mm reels of programming to the Library of Congress. The vast majority of these are kinescopes represented as separate picture and sound track negatives. The Library's Motion Picture Conservation Center in Dayton, Ohio, has made composite prints of hundreds of titles in the NBC Collection -- including many specifically for this program -- thus ensuring their preservation. This series, which shows many of these new prints to the public for the first time, salutes the Library's efforts to conserve America's rich television heritage, a history that predates video technology. The 1950s were the key decade in bringing television to America. As the decade began, about one home in eight had a set. Ten years later, the figure was seven of eight. During the 1950s America changed from a land of radio listeners to one of television viewers. NBC -- along with CBS -- refined the types of television we could watch.
