The Walter J. Brown Media Archives & Peabody Awards Collection holds more than 90,000 titles and 5,000,000 feet of newsfilm, making this the third largest broadcasting archives in the country, behind both the Library of Congress and the University of California at Los Angeles.  The Archives comprise moving image and sound collections that focus on American television and radio broadcasting, and the music, folklore and history of Georgia.  There are more than 50,000 television programs and more than 39,500 radio programs in the Archives, in addition to audio folk music field tapes and home movies from rural Georgia.  According to Director Ruta Abolins, the Brown Media Archives & Peabody Collection represents "not just the history of radio and television but of the United States and the world, from 1941 to the present.  Every major event is here.  It's astounding."
