LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -
A&E Television Networks'
History brands, which include the History channel and its Web
site, have teamed up with the Library of Congress on a
multimedia partnership that will encompass on-air and online
content.
The partnership includes co-branded content on History
as well as original specials and short- and longform historical
documentary programming on the History channel. History also
will produce a short film and new content for the new Library
of Congress Experience, which opened April 12 in the Library's
Thomas Jefferson Building and online at myLOC.gov.
In addition, the partnership will bring historical content
to 200,000 teachers nationwide that use History's branded
educational materials in their classrooms.
"With more than 138 million items in our collections, there
are millions of stories waiting to be told," Librarian of
Congress James Billington said.
Abbe Raven, president and CEO of A&E Television Networks,
added that the partnership "will result in millions of
Americans having better access and knowledge of history by
utilizing the collections of one of the nation's greatest
institutions."
