Belo to preserve TV history at SMU

Oct 1, 2009, 11:29am CDT

Belo Corp. said Thursday it will be preserving its television broadcasting history by donating its archives to Southern Methodist University’s DeGolyer Library.

Dallas-based Belo Corp. (NYSE: BLC) said the archives also will receive documents and materials from The Dallas Morning News and its parent company, A.H. Belo Corp., which was spun off from Belo Corp. to establish two separate entities in 2008.

“Since 1985, Belo Corp. has invested in updating its archival collection that traces the history of the company as well as the City of Dallas. We are proud of this collection and believe it is best situated in a permanent curatorial setting such as the DeGolyer Library,” said Robert W. Decherd, chairman of Belo Corp. “The Board of Directors and management of Belo Corp. are very pleased that SMU will be home to the archives and thereby enhance the university’s already significant collections.”

Belo has been preserving its archives internally. The company’s archives include private and business correspondence from former leaders G.B. Dealey, E.M. “Ted” Dealey, Joe Dealey, James M. Moroney Jr., H. Ben Decherd and Robert Decherd.

Belo’s history dates back to 1842.
