Web Site & Archive
What is the ANTIQUES ROADSHOW Archive?
The ROADSHOW Archive is a searchable online database containing hundreds of streaming video and still images of the individual appraisals that have been featured on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW. Information is also available about each object's value, genre, age, historical context, appraiser, and other related details.
Are all of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW's past seasons available in the Archive?
Currently, the ROADSHOW Archive contains appraisals from Season 9 through Season 13 (2005-2009). We plan to add Season 8 soon, and we'll continue to add more seasons in 2009.
When will I be able to view all appraisals from earlier seasons?
Currently, you can view appraisals from Seasons 9 through 13 (2005-2009) in the ROADSHOW Archive. Older seasons will be added incrementally throughout 2009 and 2010. If you would like to receive a regular e-mail newsletter containing updates about our Archive and other ROADSHOW news, subscribe to our free e-newsletter FANFARE.
Why can't I find the appraisal or segment I'm interested in?
There are a few reasons you might not be able to find a certain appraisal in the ROADSHOW Archive:
- The appraisal might be from Season 8 (2004) or earlier. Currently, only Seasons 9 through 13 (2005-2009) are available to search. Older seasons will be added incrementally throughout 2009 and 2010.
- Currently only videos of our formal appraisals are available. The video segment you are looking for may be either a "field segment" or a "single-camera" appraisal. Field segments are the portions of the show featuring our host, Mark L. Walberg, visiting local sites in each city. Single-camera segments are brief, informal appraisals sometimes included in an episode. Currently, these segments are not available in our Archive.
- Occasionally we're unable to include an appraisal for technical reasons.
- Your search may be too specific. Try again using broader keywords or selecting fewer criteria from the pull-down menus in your search.
