As we publish the third issue of The Vault, it's important to realize that the interview clips we publish are selected from hours of the individual's video footage. It's meant to give Archive supporters a taste of the television history we are gathering. With your support, the Archive will continue to grow, ultimately becoming a state-of-the-art oral history video library on television's remarkable past &emdash; accessible in a variety of educational formats worldwide.

In this issue, we're featuring three television pioneers. Each represents a different aspect in television's evolution. On its creation: Elma "Pem" Farnsworth, widow of electronic television inventor Phil (Philo) Farnsworth. Elma worked side-by-side with her husband as he perfected his inventions. On its growth: Sid Caesar, who used his broad comedic skills in "Admiral Broadway Revue," "Your Show of Shows," and "Caesar's Hour"&emdash; shows which fanned the flames of the television explosion. On its industry: network founder Leonard Goldenson, a true visionary who created ABC from the ground up, at a time when NBC and CBS dominated network television.

We hope you enjoy this issue and continue to support the Archive so that future generations will be able to hear the fascinating history of television from those who made it happen.
