[ARSCLIST] Radio broadcast recordings on reel tape
Greetings,
The Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center recently received
approximately
1300 reel-to-reel tapes of old radio broadcast recordings. As part of the
collection assessment, I'm curious as to whether other institutions have
physical or digital recordings of any of the following programs:
- Captain Horatio Hornblower
- Lives of Harry Lime
- R.C.M.P., The Queen's Men
- Royal Playhouse
- The Scarlet Pimpernel
- Scotland Yard
- Secrets of Scotland Yard
- Theatre Royal
Thanks for any information you can offer.
Best,
Eric Cartier
