Radio is a promising but often overlooked historical resource. It documents social, political and cultural change and its own roles in such change; preserving sound and radio history in accessible archives is essential to discovering and interpreting these stories. Join Bill Lichtenstein (award-winning PBS documentary and companion book, WBCN and the American Revolution) and Katherine Jewell (current book project “Live from the Underground: A History of College Radio“) as they explore the work of collecting and accessing radio archives, and the role of radio stations as sites of culture and battles of American identity in the 1960s and 1970s.
