In October C-SPAN crews spent a week filming at various locations around Madison, including the World War I exhibit in the Libraries’ Special Collections Department. Special Collections librarian Robin Rider and Skye Doney, a graduate student who curated the exhibit, were interviewed as part of the special. Fellow grad student Eric O’Connor also helped curate the exhibit. The majority of the exhibit contains pieces donated by UW–Madison alumnus Andrew Stangel.

Programming recorded in Madison aired on Book TV/C-SPAN2 Charter channels 76 and 997, and 742 in HD and American History TV/C-SPAN3 Charter channels 88 and 996, and 743 in HD on November 15 and 16, 2014.  C-SPAN is available in Madison on Charter channels 12 and 740 in HD.
