Re: [ARSCLIST] Reels of spaceflight broadcasts.

["Richard L. Hess" <ArcLists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have some 1200 foot reels of this stuff. I think it was a common thing to
record.

What to do with it is a problem. We presume--but don't know--that CBS and
others have these archives.

There is an archive of news at, I think, Vanderbilt University. That might
be a good place to start.

Cheers,

Richard
