The Texas Broadcast Museum proudly recommends Bobby Ellerbee’s Eyes of a Generation as one of the most valuable resources for understanding the history of television broadcasting. The site goes far beyond pictures of old cameras, documenting the people, studios, networks, engineering practices, and equipment that built early television. Its extraordinary photography and deeply researched histories provide context no display case can offer, preserving thousands of rare production images and detailed accounts of how the technology of broadcasting evolved.
Bobby’s passion for preservation is genuine, and his work has become an indispensable virtual museum in its own right. He has followed our story for years, even documenting our opening in 2016, and his dedication has created an archive that grows more valuable with time. We rely on Eyes of a Generation, we trust it, and we are grateful for Bobby Ellerbee’s commitment to keeping this remarkable chapter of American broadcasting alive. In our view, it isn’t just a website—it is a living archive of the people, technology, and history that brought television to life.
