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 TelevisionFoundation.
