Series 2. Writings, circa 1942-circa 1975, and undated
.42 linear feet
RPA 00171 (box 8)
This collection of Jim Walsh’s writings dates from approximately 1942 through 1975, but the majority are undated. Most of the items found in this series are drafts of articles or columns Walsh wrote for Hobbies, Variety, or The New Yorker, but several bear no indication of their intended publisher. The articles relate primarily to the history of recording and more specifically address subjects such as Edison’s inventions, songs on particular themes, recording artist biographies, and record collecting in general. One folder of writings on miscellaneous topics is included. Copies of indexes to Walsh’s Hobbies column "Favorite Pioneer Recording Artists" can also be found here.
Writings are arranged alphabetically by subject.

Series 3. Radio Scripts, 1943-1954, and undated
.63 linear feet
RPA 00172-00173 (boxes 9-10)
Series 3 includes scripts for Walsh’s regular broadcasts on radio stations WDBJ and WSLS in Roanoke, Virginia. The majority of the scripts found here date from 1943 through 1949 and are for Walsh’s Wax Works; many of the scripts include separate playlists. Walsh’s shows usually focused on particular themes (for example, songs about girls named Sue), early comedians, early Edison cylinders, or holiday songs. Many of the shows showcased a particular recording artist or composer; an index to these shows is available in the Recorded Sound Research Center at the Library of Congress. The few scripts available for Walsh’s Sunlight and Shadows show date from 1947 and 1948. A folder of unidentified and partial scripts is included at the end of the series.
Radio scripts are arranged alphabetically and thereunder by date.
