Hagel Archives, Videos, 1985 - 2008
Description
462 videos make up Senator Hagel's video record. Most are from his 1997-2008 service in the U.S. Senate. The rest are from his 1995-1996 U.S. Senate campaign and his life outside the Senate. Videos include news programs, debates, Senate floor speeches, committee hearings, and speeches in Nebraska and around the U.S. There are serious videos, like the dozens of videos relating to conflicts around the world; funny videos, like his visit to The Daily Show; and sweet videos with family.
161 videos are available online and linked in two places: 1) here in ArchivesSpace at the top of each video entry 2) in an exhibit at Under the Bright Lights: Videos in the U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel Archives.
The other 301 videos may be viewed in person only at Criss Library Archives and Special Collections due to copyright restrictions. They are stored on an external hard drive in the workroom marked "Hagel Videos."
All videos, regardless of whether they are available online or in Criss Library, are listed here.

Processing Information
The video files came from VHS cassettes created by Hagel's U.S. Senate staff and other persons and entities and later digitized by the Hagel Archives staff. The Senate staff members often combined more than one recording onto one VHS cassette, as was common at the time with VHS personal recordings. VHS cassettes could hold up to six hours of material. Following digitization, Hagel Archives staff edited the digital files in cases where a cassette held both copyright-free and copyright-protected recordings. Hagel Archives staff separated these recordings and saved each as a new digital file. This was done so that the copyright-free recordings could be put online separately.
