National Educational Television Records, 1951-1969

 
Container Title
Subseries: Subseries 5B. Vice President for Network Affairs: Records, 1954-1967
Physical Description: 39 boxes 
Scope and Content Note

This series consists almost entirely of records generated by the Station Relations Department and the office of the VP for Network Affairs; however, there are also records from the department of Field Services. These records include correspondence, legal documents, printed reports, minutes of meetings, memos of Field Services and Station Relations, and promotional material from affiliated stations. They are organized into an alphabetical subject file.

[Note: The main reason that the files of the Station Relations and Field Services Departments were combined with the records of the VP for Network Affairs under the latter title is that they arrived at the archives hopelessly interspersed. Also, Robertson was successively the Director of Station Relations and VP for Network Affairs. The duties of those two and of Field Services as well were very similar.]

Among the more extensive records in this series are the records of affiliates' meetings, records regarding the FCC, foreign correspondence, station profiles--arranged by state and station call letters, information on over 70 affiliates, records regarding JCET-JCEB, the NAEB, and the NETRC Board of Directors. Numerous throughout are also the folders (1 to 5 each) relating to state and regional commissions, organizations and networks, all related to educational television or broadcasting, arranged under the name of state or organization.
