Read about our licensing and digitization services below, as well as tips for preserving your media.
Licensing
The Texas Archive of the Moving Image (TAMI) is an independent, educational non-profit organization, not a stock footage house. We work extensively to discover, preserve, and provide access to Texas film and videotape that would otherwise be lost through decomposition or neglect. Our ever-growing online library features thousands of moving images, including home movies, amateur films, advertisements, local television, industrial films, and more.
Browse the KPRC Tape Inventory
TAMI has an extensive collection of newscasts from KPRC-TV in Houston. Although not all of the items are currently digitized, an incomplete inventory list of digitized videotapes covering the 1980s to the early 2000s is available for research and licensing requests. More information is available here.

Don't be a digital pirate.
Copying digital content without permission is stealing. When you illegally download content, you are negatively affecting every person who worked in creating, preserving, and researching these archival materials.
Digitization Services for a Fee
In addition to the Film Round-Up program, we provide digitization and transfer services at competitive rates. Whether a personal home movie or moving images from your institution’s archive, your materials will be handled with the utmost care during the inspection, cleaning, and digitization processes. By choosing to digitize your films with us, you are supporting our educational mission to discover, preserve, provide access to, and educate the community about Texas' film heritage.
