DuMont Network shows which survive at the Paley Center for Media
The DuMont Television Network was one of the first commercial television networks. It broadcasted from 1946 to 1956, and aired a wide variety of shows of many genres. At the time, the idea of preserving television shows for later-use was not taken seriously by many people. Also, what the network did keep was disposed of in the late-1970s.
The following is a list of DuMont network shows that have footage surviving at the Paley Center for Media. Some of these may be duplicates of stuff held by the UCLA Film and Television Archive, but much of it is not.
Furthur DuMont Network kinescope recordings survive at other archives, such as the previously mentioned UCLA Film and Television Archive, Library of Congress, and in private collections (such as an episode of "On Your Way").
Stuff at Paley not listed below: "Adlai Stevenson Speech from Salt Lake City" - 1952 recording of a television broadcast by the US presidential candidate.
Possibly 1 episode each of "Stop the Play" and "Swing Into Sports" - Was these local series from DuMont flagship station WABD?
