Strandgaard Jensen, Helle2024-03-012024-03-012023https://viewjournal.eu/articles/10.18146/view.307https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/23147In this article, I use my experiences in writing about the transnational history of Sesame Street to point toward ways forward for researchers interested in investigating entangled European broadcasting histories. I will point to places where I found European interconnections in journals, committees, and festivals and consider what the availability of these published and unpublished sources has meant for my inquiries. I will also explain how I used a specific content-management software (Tropy) to ‘hack’ and go beyond the national boundaries encoded in the archival collections I used. Finally, I suggest that perhaps it is not audiovisual material broadcasting archives first and foremost need to make available in digital formats if we want to further boundary-crossing television history; instead, I believe that the possibility of sharing self-digitized printed material should be a particular focus in the future.engCreative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 GenericSesame Streettelevision historytransnational historycontent management softwareTropy30070010.18146/view.30710.25969/mediarep/218162213-0969
