Subseries: Subseries 7A. Director of Research and Education Records, 1953-1962: NET was concerned with research from its inception. It needed to know how audiences
were receiving ETV and what their preferences were in order to insure greater success.
During most of its existence, NET employed the services of Professor Wilbur Schramm
and the Institute of Communication Studies at Stanford University. There was a time
however, when they had an internal research unit, with Dr. Ryland W. Crary as Director
of Education before becoming Director of Research in September 1958. His duties in
both positions were probably identical, with only the name being changed. The files pertain to Crary's duties as Director of Education and Research and cover
the years 1953-1962. The six boxes are arranged alphabetically according to subject
and chronologically within each subject and/or folder. Their contents consist of final
and preliminary research reports and material used to compile those reports,
correspondence and reports regarding research grants to universities, which is the
largest single category within these files, and correspondence with stations regarding
research needs. In addition there are studies, surveys, analyses, lists of data, and
publications, all related to ETV and its techniques, impact on the public, success,
etc. Many of the studies and reports were compiled by universities and other
organizations with NET grant money. Removed from the file was a set of NAEB Factsheet, which was transferred to the NAEB collection, and carbon copies
thereof, which were discarded.
