Welcome to the Early Television Foundation and Museum
The Early Television Foundation is dedicated to the preservation of the technology from the early days of television. Our website's mission is to preserve and make available to the public the history of early television, from the mechanical systems of the 1920s through the introduction of color television in the 1950s. The Early Television Museum and Foundation depends on donations to fund our operations. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to the Early Television Foundation.
June Online Meeting of the Early Television Museum Community
Saturday, June 29 at 8 PM EDT
Our June meeting will feature four segments: first, Steve McVoy will update news of the Early Television Foundation, followed by a look at an item in the museum's collection. James O'Neal will make a presentation about "Why We Have Fractional (Non-integer) Television Frame Rates". After his presentation, he and George Lemaster will be available to answer questions, and George will briefly discuss the non-integer field and frame rates in NTSC. Then we will have an open topic discussion. Feel free to introduce any topic you are interested in.
