Abstract:

Papers of Nastal, a pioneer Milwaukee Polish-language radio broadcaster, and of his son, Stanley H., who succeeded him in 1947. The collection documents ethnic programming from the 1930s through the 1950s, and includes biographical information, a copy of Nastal's reminiscences of service with Polish Volunteer Forces of the Canadian Army during World War I, advertising contracts, program logs, and scripts. The logs, in English, are from Our Polish Hour, dating 1947-1954; the scripts, in Polish, are from Theater of the Air and daily serialized sketches. The collection also contains eleven tape recordings of broadcasts, primarily Our Polish Hour, circa 1942-1947.
