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.   January Online Meeting of the Early Television Museum Community January 22 at 8 PM EDT Our January 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 give a presentation on the almost-forgotten art of kinescoping recording---the only technology available for preserving television content before the advent of a practical videotape recorder in 1956. Then we will have an open topic discussion. Feel free to introduce any topic you are interested in.   Covid Policy Change The City of Columbus has changed its guidelines for wearing masks. In keeping with this change, the Museum will require masks for all visitors except children 2 or under.
