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 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. |

Series 5 consists of approximately 610 photographs of artists and personalities
from the early days of recording. Most of the photographs are black and white, but
some modern color photographs are included. Many of the photographs are copies
(mostly of poor quality) made from earlier prints, books, albums, or posters. Many
of the photographs here were used by Walsh to illustrate his columns in Hobbies. Oversized photographs are filed in Series 6. |

Photographs are arranged alphabetically by the name of the person, group or
subject. Group, miscellaneous, and unidentified photographs are filed at the end.
