Scope and Content Note
This collection documents the radio programming of the Voice of America broadcaster from the 1940s through the 1980s. The collection is organized into two series: disc paperwork and tape paperwork. Both series are organized alphabetically, primarily by program or performer’s name and then organized chronologically by date.
Both series contain radio programs, along with program notes, scripts, audition notes, and promotional materials. The radio programming highlighted in this collection mainly encompasses musical shows from various composers, orchestras, and performers and covers a wide array of musical genres like classical, jazz, international, folk, and contemporary music. The disc paperwork series ranges in date from 1946-1968, and the tape paperwork series spans from 1947-1988. All materials in this collection were pulled from the discs and tapes sound recordings.
