Now on display on the 7th floor, a Collection Spotlight: The NBC 5 Archive.
NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth / KXAS-TV recently donated to The Sixth Floor Museum an extraordinary archive of film and video footage documenting John F.

The addition of the NBC 5 Archive completes the Museum’s collection of known assassination related news broadcasts, joining previously acquired coverage from other local television stations: WFAA-TV (the ABC affiliate), KRLD-TV (then CBS affiliate), and KTVT-TV (then an independent station).
Film: Run time: 30 minutes broken into 7 different video files ranging from 3–7 minutes each.
