This is wonderful that these are on Hulu... I hope that it continues to be on here, and that more episodes are added.. My only problem is that NBC is being very picky and mad, about allowing any of their shows to be online, which poses a problem for all of us... These shows should be online for all of us to be able to view them, and for generations who were not even born to be able to see, and to use as research for school projects...

This news footage is excellent, and I certainly hope that NBC News & Hulu will keep all of it uploaded permanently, and keep adding to this archival video library. It's a tremendous resource for all to watch & for free!

My biggest criticism is that for a network which billed its programs as being broadcast "in living color" and had a peacock as its trademark for most of its history, there is a surprising amount of monochromatic footage here, even from eras & of news stories which I know were originally telecast in full color.

Did NBC News destroy or misplace their master color stock, or was this merely an intentional usage of black & white films, kinescopes & videotapes?

In the way of suggestions (to add to this archival, on-line library), I submit the following:

-- The November 22-25, 1963 coverage of the assassination & funeral/burial of President John F. Kennedy; associated coverage of the killing of alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby. I have seen this footage, that included anchor Frank McGee and location reporter Robert MacNeil in the initial hours of coverage, broadcast since as a cable TV special. It would be nice to be able to watch the full coverage on-line.

-- The May 5, 1961 & February 20, 1962 launches & flights of Lt. Cdr. Alan Shepard & Lt. Col. John Glenn, in Freedom 7 & Friendship 2, respectively. Shepard was the first American astronaut in space, Glenn the first to orbit the Earth.

-- The coverage of the August 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, including anti-Vietnam War demonstrations and police riot. For that matter, how about NBC's coverage of the historic, national political conventions generally, beginning with the Huntley-Brinkley team's debut at the 1952 conventions; then the 1960, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980 & 1984 conventions. After that they're pretty much non-events. '76 and '80 were only interesting for, respectively, the drama of Ronald Reagan presenting a possible upset over Gerald Ford, Ted Kennedy's challenge of incumbent Jimmy Carter and the former's national swan song speech; '84 for Democrats nominating Geraldine Ferraro as Vice-Presidential candidate, the first woman on a major party's national ticket.

-- The March 30-31, 1969 funeral of 34th President Dwight D. Eisenhower, accompanied by some documentary footage of his distinguished military career, which included commanding of U.S. forces in European theater during World War II, leading D-Day invasion that won war. Excerpts of Ike's famous 1961 farewell speech warning about the "military industrial complex," as well his remarks at a press conference revealing inability to think of any major accomplishments by his vice president, Richard Nixon.

-- Significant and exemplary presidential press conferences, beginning with the first televised conference by President Eisenhower, January 1955; then of John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford, James E. Carter, Ronald W. Reagan, George H. W. Bush, William J. Clinton, George W. Bush.

-- Funeral coverage of 40th President Ronald W. Reagan, July 5-11, 2004, perhaps including some key moments from his career and presidency, including: his Hollywood years; and as president of the Screen Actor's Guild; as spokesperson for General Electric; as governor of California; 1968, 1976 , 1980 and '84 presidential campaigns; 1981 & '85 inaugural addresses; 1981 assassination attempt coverage; speeches at Berlin Wall, at time of Challenger shuttle crash; Iran-Contra hearings; farewell address & other key addresses & press conferences

By the way, in that photo on the homepage of NBC News Time Capsule, there are pictures of Dave Garroway (or is it John Cameron Swayze, who anchored first NBC nightly newscasts, "Camel News Caravan"?), Chet Huntley-David Brinkley team, and the current anchor, Brian Williams. But what of John Chancellor and Tom Brokaw, the latter who anchored longest of any NBC anchormen?

Wow! this is amazing, I used to go for these kind of stuff to Museum of Television and Radio on 52nd st. in Manhattan and get only 1 hour of viewing time, here I can get as much as I want! you go Hulu! keep up the great work!

Wonderful footage. So glad this is preserved so future generations can appreciate what we have and hoe it developed. Watching this JFK footage is a reminder of just how far we HAVE come.
