Historical Note
KOAC-TV was established in 1957. It was administered by the Oregon State
System of Higher Education's General Extension Division as part of the
Department of Educational Media until the early 1980s when administration was
transferred to what is now known as Oregon Public Broadcasting.
Beginning in 1957, KOAC-TV produced and broadcast several films for
Great Decisions, a community program offered by the Extension Service and the
Foreign Policy Association that was aimed at building informed public opinion
on foreign policy.
Under contract with the Oregon Centennial Commission, KOAC produced a
school series on Oregon history, "With Her Own Wings" in 1959 and distributed
kinescope films of the series to Oregon schools through the Department of
Visual Instruction.
The "In Our Care" series, sponsored by the Oregon State Board of Control
and produced by KOAC in 1959-1960, documented Oregon's prisons, hospitals, and
schools for the handicapped and delinquent. Photographer Bill Rush filmed and
Bob Richter produced and directed the series.
Content Description
Most of the films are from three television series: In Our Care, With
Her Own Wings, and the Great Decisions Program. The group also includes films
produced for the Colleges for Oregon's Future program, television broadcasts
from the Oregon State Fair in Salem, and men's basketball games. Other notable
films show the Klamath Falls and Warm Springs Indians; the dedication of Gill
Coliseum; and the 1964 commencement ceremony.
Arrangement
Some of the films have been assigned individual numbers (P207:1-16).
However, most of the films have been described as groups by the primary subject
or the television series for which they were made; these groups are Men's
Basketball; State Fair; Great Decisions Program; With Her Own Wings; and In Our
Care. The films are 16 mm; both b/w and color. For some films, both a negative
and print are included; but there are several negatives without accompanying
prints. The groups also includes many kinescope films (motion picture films
made from an image on a picture tube).
Administrative Information
Custodial History The films were transfered to the Archives in 1988 from the former
KOAC-TV studios on the Oregon State University campus.
