The Archive of American Television

Founded in 1997, The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Foundation launched the Archive of American Television to "capture the stories behind the making of television and preserve them for future generations" by conducting long-form interviews with TV professionals across a range of specialties and genres. In 2017, the Archive was renamed The Interviews: An Oral History of Television.
The archive has digitized over 4,000 hours of original content, making hundreds of interviews accessible online, for free. The collection covers a variety of professions, genres, and topics in television history. Many individuals with careers related to the Muppets have been interviewed as part of the archive - including Muppeteers Caroll Spinney and Kevin Clash.
