Dear Local History list --
I am involved with a project called the Radio History Task Force, sponsored
by the Library of Congress, under the aegis of the National
Recording Preservation Board. Our job is to locate archived collections
containing recordings of radio programs, especially those that aired on
local, public, and community stations. Any date, any format.
Wisconsin is my beat, and while I've been working with the Wisconsin
Historical Society, the University Archives, and Wisconsin Public Radio
here in Madison, I'd also like to locate holdings of local and regional
archives, especially if they relate to radio in that area.
If you know of any, or even any likely sources of recorded radio that might
be held by collectors, museums, etc. I would love to hear about it. Happy
to provide more info on this project, too, if anyone is interested. If
you'd prefer to reply offlist, my email is you'd prefer to reply offlist, my email is mhilmes@wisc.edu.
Thanks so much for your attention -- Michele
