The collection consists of materials related to the production, promotion and/or programming activities of television shows
aired by the American Broadcasting Company (ABC). The materials appear to have belonged to offices handling promotion and/or
programming procedures at the network as described by Harold (Hal) Garb, a correspondent in the files. (Garb was not personally
acquainted with the Walt Disney Production files, most of which date previous to his arrival.) The bulk of the collection
dates from the 1956-1959 and 1962-1974. Included are scripts, programming and/or promotional information, and production information
from a variety of television shows, such as
Griff (1973-1974),
The Streets of San Francisco (1972-1973), and Walt Disney Productions such as
The Mickey Mouse Club (1954-1959). The production,cprograming, and promotional material may include network memos, cast sheets, shooting schedules,
story outlines, photo shoot orders, development reports and biographical sketches. Additionally there is script material,
including a script written by Rod Serling, for a series titled
The New People (1968).
Walt Disney Productions files appear to have been generated by Walt Disney Productions and copied to the network. It is not
clear what office at ABC (if any) these files came from. They form a self-contained unit of materials exclusively associated
with Disney television productions, which happen to have aired on ABC.
Arranged in the following series:
- ABC TV Programing Files
- ABC TV Promotional Files
- Scripts and Production files
