Abstract:
Records of the nation's oldest broadcasting network, founded in 1926 as a radio programming service which went on to both radio and television broadcasting. Although incomplete at the highest levels, the collection offers representative coverage of operations in advertising, public relations, research, sales, and news and public affairs broadcasting from the 1930s through the 1950s. Included are correspondence, memoranda, reports, logs, scripts, promotional material and publications, scenic designs, photographs, a few production files, and a library of scripts and recordings; legal and financial records are scarce. Because the NBC finding aid is too large to open in most browsers, it has been split into 15 smaller documents. To get all fifteen, do a search for “National Broadcasting Company” as a “Collection Title” on the drop-down menu; or click here. Part 9 covers the last portion of the Office Files series' Public Affairs subseries.

Note:

There is a use restriction on the entire collection; see the Administrative/Restriction Information portion of this finding aid for details.

Scope and Content Note

A narrative overview description of the NBC collection as well as advice on locating material in it is present in Part 1 of this finding aid. This part of the finding aid, as well as parts 6-8 and 10, pertain to the OFFICE FILES. The OFFICE FILES relate to the Advisory Council, which reviewed network policy and standards; several corporate-level executives; and the Public Relations, Corporate Relations, Operations, Public Affairs, Radio, Television, and the Owned-and-Operated and Spot Sales Divisions.

Corporate executives represented include John F. Royal, vice-president for programming, international relations, and television during the 1930s and 1940s, and Niles Trammell and Sylvester L. Weaver Jr., each of whom was both president and chairman of the board. Several other executives who rose to prominence are represented by papers filed with the departments with which they were affiliated.

Public Relations records (36 feet) include papers of William F. Brooks, vice-president in charge; Richard A.R. Pinkham, vice-president for advertising; and Sidney H. Eiges, vice-president for press and publicity, and records generated in the advertising, continuity acceptance, and press and publicity subdivisions of the department. Topics treated include audience, broadcast, and station promotion; newspaper and magazine advertising; censorship; and relations with advertising agencies and affiliates. Numerous advertising kits and samples of publicity materials are included. One box of continuity acceptance records in this section may be used only with the permission of the director of the Wisconsin Historical Society.

Corporate Relations files (12 1/2 feet) consist chiefly of information on various studies and reports on television audience characteristics and sales effectiveness which were prepared or commissioned by the research and planning section of the department and files of Easton Woolley, director of station relations during the 1940s.

Operations files (18 feet) consist of fragmentary records generated in the business and administration, engineering, facilities operations, and integrated services divisions. (Earlier related operations records are filed with the television records). Included are the papers of William S. Hedges, vice-president for integrated services. Among the miscellaneous documentation are engineering logs and monthly reports; floor plans, scenic designs, and proper lists for programs aired from the New York studios during the 1950s; reports of New York technical directors; operational files for Wide, Wide World; and copies of miscellaneous corporate publications and speeches by NBC executives collected by the network library.

The records of the Spot Sales and Owned-and-Operated Stations Division include material on sales and program arrangements and other day-to-day relations between the network and its owned and affiliated stations. Prominent are the papers of John M. Gaines and Carleton D. Smith, both of whom served as vice-presidents. Actual station files include logs of WMAQ, the company-owned station in Chicago, and office correspondence, logs, and news scripts of the WNBC/WNBC-TV, the network's flag station in New York City. Notable among the WNBC/WNBC-TV records are papers generated by Ted Cott and Hamilton Shea, two station managers, and production files for the Open Mind, a public affairs program.

Public Affairs records are extensive (50 feet) and include material on the news and special events, public service, and sports subdivisions, as well as papers generated by Davidson Taylor, vice-president in charge, and William F. Brooks, vice-president for news and special events. News and special events files include information on the writing and gathering of news stories and film, the coordination of domestic and foreign correspondents, and the development of mobile broadcasting. Also included are production files from producers Reuven Frank, Eliot Frankel, Irving Gitlin, Gerald Green, and Ted Mills for programs such as Background, Chet Huntley Reporting, Frank McGee Report, Nation's Future, and Outlook. Public service materials are useful for examination of religious and educational broadcasting. This section includes production files generated by Doris Ann, Wade Arnold, and Dorothy Culbertson for programs such as Catholic Hour, Continental Classroom, Frontiers of Faith, Living, and NBC University Theatre. The sports files are small, though there are some papers and scripts pertaining to the work of announcer-sports director Bill Stern.

Radio Network files (16 feet) divide into two smaller sections, programming and sales, and papers of network vice-presidents Ted Cott and William J. Fineshriber Jr. The sales records include a selection of contracts, presentations, and exchanges with advertisers and advertising agencies; the programming files contain miscellaneous routine material, with the production files created by Albert L. Capstaff for Monitor being perhaps the most notable. Also included are two boxes of correspondence from Sidney N. Strotz and Clarence N. Menser, two vice-presidents for programming during the early 1940s.

Television Network files (43 feet) also divide into program and sales sections (the second being somewhat more fully represented) and files of Noran Kersta and Carleton D. Smith, both directors for television operations during the late 1940s, and Edward Madden, a vice-president for television operation and sales during the early 1950s. These files provide extensive documentation on the early day-to-day development of television by the network. Programming material includes papers from such executives as Charles C. Barry and Michael H. Dann, who were responsible for the development and sale of new programming ideas during the 1950s, and Samuel Chotzinoff, supervisor of classical music broadcasting. Production files largely represent the work of Mort Abrahams on Producers' Showcase. Although the sales files are generally routine in character, they include papers of John K. Herbert and Walter D. Scott, two executives who later rose to prominence within the corporate structure.

Ann, Doris. Papers, 1950-1961
Physical Description: 3 boxes (3 feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of a Public Service executive who joined NBC in 1944 as a member of the personnal department. Herein represented are her duties as director of television special causes, director of television religious programs, director of public service awards, and producer for religious programs such as Frontiers of Faith/Catholic Hour and The Eternal Light.

Corwith, Doris. Papers, 1944-1952
Physical Description: 2 boxes (8 inches) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of a supervisor of public service programs who succeeded to that responsibility with the retirement of Margaret Cuthbert in 1952; the files contain a few of Cuthbert's papers. Corwith held other titles at NBC including manager of operations of the department, supervisor of radio public affairs, supervisor of religious broadcasting, and supervisor of talks; only the first, however, is documented in these papers.

The files are arranged into SUBJECT FILES, DEPARTMENTAL FILES, and PROGRAM FILES, with a single folder of BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIAL. The bulk of the material relates to 1952, with the most significant portions pertaining to coordination of bookings for political campaigns and programs such as American Forum of the Air and The Author Speaks.

Culbertson, Dorothy. Papers, 1958-1961
Physical Description: 2 boxes (10 inches) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of an executive responsible for educational broadcasting at NBC during the 1950s and early 1960s.

The functionally-arranged files include one general file which contains correspondence, programming suggestions, and miscellany concerning her responsibility as coordinator of educational broadcasting and her on-going interest in these areas after transfer to Continental Classroom. Despite the slimness of this file, there are several interesting memos concerning the early, tentative nature of educational broadcasting on television. The majority of the papers here were generated in Culbertson's capacity as producer for Continental Classroom. Included is information on promotion, funding, cooperation with the Learning Resources Institute, and staffing. This documentation ends with her promotion to manager of educational broadcasting. Also in the collection is one folder of personal material. The name of Edward Stanley, her supervisor, appears frequently in the files.

Stanley, Edward. Papers, 1944, 1948-1965
Physical Description: 3 boxes (3 feet) 
Scope and Content Note

Papers of a manager of public service programs. The majority of the files date from the period 1951-1953, the main exception being the material on his supervision of the Educational Television project, 1956-1960, and Continental Classroom, which developed from the project. The files divide into three categories: SUBJECT FILES, DEPARTMENTAL FILES, and PROGRAM FILES.

Of primary interest within the departmental files are the monthly staff reports. In the program files one will find various kinds of material such as correspondence, memoranda, scripts, contracts, and promotional material, particularly for programs such as Family Living, Last Man Out, Tactics, and Youth Brings You Music. There are also program files with the ETV material which is filed with the departmental material. These programs, which NBC produced for broadcast on the nation's educational television stations include Briefing Session, Decision for Research, and The Subject Is Jazz. There is also some informative correspondence dealing with the demise of Continental Classroom. Of interest in the subject files are the scripts and correspondence relating to Carl Sandburg's appearance on television (he was interviewed by Stanley). There is also some material on a media-wide promotion of Radio Free Europe and Stanley's personal interest in the National Urban League.
