Arrangement

Tapes are arranged in the order of tape numbers that had been assigned by the donor; because of this, tape numbering is non-consecutive, and there are no tape numbers 42, 45-47, 51-53, 56-60, or 62. Tapes not part of the donor's original numbering system have been arranged at the end of the collection, beginning with Tape 65.

Immediate Source of Acquisition

The Arkansas Educational Television Network Video Collection was donated to Special Collections by AETN director Allen Weatherly on behalf of AETN on November 22, 2002. Tape 78 was donated by AETN Broadcast Operations Manager Jane Havens on behalf of AETN in 1984.
