It is the home of Mason's print, radio, television and internet organizations. ","Broadside, George Mason University's official student newspaper, began its life as The Gunston Ledger. An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. The staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary.","The Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities.","The Broadside became a modern newspaper with a strong student voice through the 1970s to 1990s. The main focus of the paper was on campus news and events, but also included trends and styles, commentary on national and world events, entertainment, music, and sports. In the past, photography for each issue was provided by both digital and traditional 35mm format cameras. Later they used only digital images. Broadside used staff photographers and, on occasion, major wire service outlets for its photographs.","Broadside kept its name until 2013 when it joined with the student-run news website \"Connect2Mason\" and was renamed again, this time as the \"Fourth Estate.\" Fourth Estate is an online-only publication, though it has published physical supplemental editions.","Series one was processed by Special Collections and Archives staff with EAD markup completed by Jesse Gastelle in 2010. This series was previously included in the George Mason University photograph collection. With series two, original order was preserved with initial description completed by the Student Media Office. Processed by, and EAD markup completed by, Greta Kuriger Suiter in 2013.","The Special Collections Research Center also holds the   and other University Archives collections."," maintained by the Creative Services photography staff in the Office of Communications and Marketing.","For more on the history of George Mason University, visit the online exhibit ","The George Mason University Broadside photograph collection consists of negatives, contact sheets, and prints created for use in the student newspaper Broadside. These photographs are from the Student Media Office. The total collection contains over 57,000 color and black and white images taken between the 1970s and 2001. The collection includes images of student life, campus architecture and construction, campus events, sports, faculty and staff, concert performances, and art.","Series 1 contains over two thousand photographs taken between 1971 and 1999. Ninety-nine percent of the photographs were taken by Broadside staff members, while the remaining images comprise official publicity photos of individuals or organizations. Topics in the collection include: images of the campus, student organizations, university sports, campus events, university administrative units, the GMU Board of Visitors, individuals, featured entertainers and speakers, local restaurants, and the visual and performing arts. The majority of the images are in black and white with a few color images dispersed throughout. The color images are almost all from the 1990s.

During its four-year run the FTP produced plays, musicals, dance and radio programs, circuses, and marionette shows. It featured the early works of actors and producers such as Orson Welles, Arthur Miller, and Elia Kazan. The federal government discontinued the program in 1939, and thousands of scripts, photographs, posters, and other FTP records were dispersed between the National Archives, the Library of Congress, public libraries, and educational institutions. For over twenty-five years the main body of these records sat forgotten in a government-owned storage facility at Middle River, near Baltimore, Maryland until they were located by George Mason University English professors, Lorraine Brown and John O'Connor.","After Brown and O'Connor's discovery, and realizing the historical significance of these records, George Mason University entered into negotiations with the Library of Congress for permission to house and care for the collection and provide access to the materials to scholars. Many of the materials were physically deteriorating after so many years in less-than-ideal storage conditions. An agreement was reached, and the collection was placed on loan to George Mason University Libraries, with the aim that the collection would be processed, cared for, and used by scholars of the FTP and WPA. A center named The Research Center for the Federal Theatre Project was established at Mason, and a staff of archives and library professionals was hired to process, describe, and provide access to the records in Mason's Fenwick Library.  ","While initially, the center was focused on unpacking, sorting, processing, and inventorying the collection, it soon concentrated on disseminating the materials and facilitating scholarship regarding the FTP. It participated in grants to preserve the materials and produce programming and exhibitions to expose the materials to a larger audience. It continued to build on the collection by conducting oral history interviews of former FTP personnel, acquisition their personal papers, and photographic duplication of deteriorating records inside the collection, such as original posters, set, and costume design drawings. George Mason University Libraries established its Special Collections \u0026 Archives (SC\u0026A) department in 1979, and the Federal Theatre Project Materials became a collection under the custody of that entity.","In 1980 the Research Center for the Federal Theatre Project was renamed the Institute on the Federal Theatre Project (IFTP), part of the newly established Center for Government, Society, and the Arts (CGSA). ","In 1993, the Library of Congress began the process of recalling collections that it had loaned to libraries across the country over the years, including the rich archives of the FTP housed at George Mason University. LC administrators suggested that the collection would be more accessible at the Library's Music Division in Washington, D.C. rather than in Fairfax. While the bulk of the original loaned collection was eventually returned to the Library in August of 1994, George Mason University Libraries was allowed to retain duplicates of many of the records to complement the additional materials it had independently acquired between 1975 and 1994. After the replevin of the FTP materials back to the Library of Congress, the IFTP focused more of its attention on the study of the American National Theater and Academy (ANTA's) work in the Coldwar era, promoting the papers of Robert Breen, Director of ANTA, which are also held by George Mason University's Special Collections Research Center (formerly Special Collections \u0026 Archives). The CGSA and IFTP ceased operation during the summer of 1998. ","Materials were transferred to Special Collections Research Center from the Institute on the Federal Theatre Project and New Deal Culture between the years 1979 and 2000.","Collection processed by Maegan Jankowsi and Robert Vay.","George Mason University Libraries records","Federal Theatre Project collection","Federal Theatre Project photograph collection","Federal Theatre Project personal papers","Works Progress Administration oral histories","Collection contains records pertaining to the operation of the the Institute on the Federal Theatre Project (IFTP) and its prior iteration, the Research Center for the Federal Theatre Project (RCFTP). These records include operational, research and correspondence files, materials related to the Institute's outreach, programming, audiovisual and photographic materials and publications. ","The collection is organized within the following series:","\nSeries 1: Administrative Records: These records consist of materials which document the day to day operation of the IFTP, its projects, initiatives, and development.","Series 2: Correspondence: This series contains manuscript and typewritten correspondence between IFTP personel and their colleagues and outside individuals and groups. ","Series 3: Outreach Activities Records: These materials document the IFTP's efforts to provide external programming to promote and disseminate scholarship pertaining to and public awareness of the FTP throuugh exhibits, talks, and other programming. ","Series 4: IFTP Publications: This series contains pamphlets detailing IFTP programs, organizational brochures and other publications created by IFTP to assist scholars in researching the FTP, Federal One, the newsletter of the RCFTP and IFTP, Free Adult and Uncensored, which details the history of the FTP, and other publications which promote and facilitate understanding of the FTP collection housed at George Mason University. ","Series 5: Photographs: This series contains photographs created or procured by the IFTP. Featured are its personel, events, and programs, copy photographs of original FTP photos, posters, and other graphic items. ","Series 6: Indexes, Inventories, and Collection Control Records: These records document the IFTP and RCFTP's fifteen-year effort to inventory, process, index, and describe the FTP collection.

LC administrators suggested that the collection would be more accessible at the Library's Music Division in Washington, D.C. rather than in Fairfax. While the bulk of the original loaned collection was eventually returned to the Library in August of 1994, George Mason University Libraries was allowed to retain duplicates of many of the records to complement the additional materials it had independently acquired between 1975 and 1994. After the replevin of the FTP materials back to the Library of Congress, the IFTP focused more of its attention on the study of the American National Theater and Academy (ANTA's) work in the Coldwar era, promoting the papers of Robert Breen, Director of ANTA, which are also held by George Mason University's Special Collections Research Center (formerly Special Collections \u0026 Archives). The CGSA and IFTP ceased operation during the summer of 1998.
