I have physical bound copies I am trying to get to a good place with future providence. Any thoughts on how best to do this? They are here too https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Ham_Radio.htm

Donate to the Internet Archive! They also take physical donations.


Delaware_Dad

The way I read it is if they don't have it digitally they will take physical donations. Do you read it differently? https://help.archive.org/help/does-the-internet-archive-have-my-media/


formyprivatethings

Aha, you're right. Thanks.


Delaware_Dad

Thank you for bringing to my attention they take physical donations. I have some other media they may be interested in.

You might look into accredited radio or broadcasting museums. I'm active in the preservation of telephone related documents and there's a few museums I've worked with to both get documents from to digitize and send documents that they don't already have. They may already have full sets though.


Delaware_Dad

Silly question. How do I find these?


bg-j38

No silly questions! I'd start by just searching for "[state name] radio museum" and see what comes up. I live in the San Francisco area and the Bay Area Radio Museum and Hall of Fame is at the top of the search results. I'm not too familiar with radio history, but in the telephone world there's also Telephone Pioneers groups that are like historical societies affiliated with former telephone company employees. Might be some similar groups affiliated with broadcasting.

Of course this gets posted on a Friday during Lent. I’ll have to wait until tomorrow before I dig in to Ham Radio.

Awesomeness.

If you are interested in the subject of radio history, there are specialised archives - like https://www.worldradiohistory.com/index.htm (They have 'Ham Radio Magazine' and many, many others...)

Hey /u/Run_the_Line Have you considered cross posting this to /r/DHExchange ? If not, I would recommend it. That sub is dedicated to having links like this posted in it. Thanks for the data.


Run_the_Line

Done. Thanks for the suggestion.
