Quantity: 2 boxes (0.6 cubic feet) 
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.

Quantity: 2 boxes (0.8 cubic feet) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of an executive responsible for educational broadcasting at NBC during the 1950s and early 1960s. Chiefly represented here are papers about her association with Continental Classroom. 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
Quantity: 3 boxes (3.0 cubic 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.
