Since our launch in 2017, Fox Archives has become an archival powerhouse, recognized by documentary filmmakers around the globe for our deep reservoir of historical content and deadline-focused services.
Built on the foundation of Fox Movietone News, one of the longest-running newsreels in history (and far and away the most popular), Fox Archives has embarked on a groundbreaking television preservation initiative to bring all of our local television news content (17 O&O stations from all around the US) into sharp relief. Many of these stations have been in operation for nearly half a century, and together their combined catalogs represents over 500K hours of coverage from the 1940s to the present.
In addition to local news reporting, Fox Archives offers breaking news coverage via two 24-hour news properties, and are able to deliver the latest events in real time. In addition to national financial and political coverage from our New York and Washington D.C. Bureaus, Fox Archives provides unparalleled reach into local newsrooms, bringing 17 owned and operated local television stations together under a single roof.
Fox Archives represents exclusive footage of some of the most memorable events in history. From the surprise attacks on Pearl Harbor and the World Trade Center, to the March on Washington and Black Lives Matter movement, to the horrific murders of Emmett Till & Trayvon Martin, and the tragic disappearance of the Lindbergh baby and Caylee Anthony, Fox camera crews have witnessed it all.
Staffed by seasoned researchers and archivists with broadcast production and newsroom experience, Fox Archives is a deadline-driven editorial research service for industry professionals looking to source both the iconic and hard-to find shots.
