Summary:
The video tapes fall into the following categories: Advertising, Debates, Interviews and Speeches, and News and Specials. There is extensive coverage of the Democratic candidate and Dukakis/Bush debates and both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. One salient omission is the infamous tank advertisement, meant to portray Dukakis as being pro-defense, which was widely considered a failure. There are photographs of the tank advertisement shooting in Series VIII. Photographs and Graphic Work (Box 67). The bulk of the audio material is radio advertising and recordings of Dukakis speeches. Some of the video and audio material is from Dukakis' prior gubernatorial campaigns.
