This fonds divided into 5 series, by format. These series are: Textual Material, Photographic Material, Video Materials, Audio Materials, and Cinefilm Materials.
The first series, Textual Material, includes personal papers, scripts, correspondence, administrative papers, transcripts, budget breakdowns and research material for Maclear’s productions. Of particular significance are the materials for proposals which were never made into complete programs (e.g. Obasan, which was based on Joy Kogawa’s book of the same name, and America’s Sweetheart, which sought to document the life of Mary Pickford).
The second series, Photographic Material, consists of prints, slides and negatives. Many of these were created during Maclear’s time as a foreign correspondent, and the rest were produced during the creation of Maclear’s television programs. Many of the photographs were obtained from archives around the world, and are consequently of considerable historical interest.
The third series, Video Materials, consists of nearly 4000 videotapes (finished productions, field tapes, archival and stock footage) representing the many series, mini-series and individual programs with which Maclear has been involved. Approximately half of these pertain to the program Flightpath.
The fourth series, Audio Materials, consists primarily of narration from the Flightpath series.
The fifth series, Cinefilms, consists of one 16mm film featuring Maclear in Havana immediately following Fidel Castro’s 1959 takeover of Cuba.
