The list includes documentaries only, not dramatic films. The Division's collections are also rich in fiction films about the Vietnam War, but that is the subject for another publication. Also excluded are television news broadcasts. The entries are arranged alphabetically by the title of the work. Numbers expressed in digits precede letters and therefore 60 Minutes precedes ABC Scope .
Television series make up a large portion of the list.
Cross references are made from episode titles to series titles. An exception is Meet the Press . The name of the guest is not considered an episode title, but each is included in the index. The copyright statement includes copyright claimant, date of registration, and registration number. The films and videotapes in the Library's collections are not available for loan but may be viewed at the Library by researchers by advance appointment.
