Mutual Broadcasting Network Collection

The Mutual Broadcasting System, Inc. Records contain more than 40,000 sound recordings, primarily in audiocassette and reel-to-reel audiotape format, as well as scripts and other supporting documents generated by the various shows produced by the Mutual Broadcasting System from the 1950's through the 1990's. In the voices of such radio personalities as Jim Bohannon, Mike Walker, and Larry King, the collection documents the entire second half of the twentieth century, including John F. Kennedy's assassination, the Watergate scandal, the Iran-Contra hearings, and the O.J. Simpson trial. The collection also includes an extensive collection of phonographic recordings of music played over the Mutual Broadcasting System.
