Abstract

This special series features the collaborative work of the Library of Congress Radio Preservation Task Force. The task force is a national clearinghouse project that brings together researchers from academic, archival, federal, and commercial sectors. Pieces in the series discuss RPTF participant commitments and strategies regarding the preservation and curation of the cultural history of sound. The first pieces in the series feature the research of three media historians, who discuss new directions for assessing radio as a cultural and political medium, in reference to the materiality of radio recordings as historical artifacts.
