WAGE Radio Collection 1958-2003

This collection consists of documents, photographs, and WAGE Radio broadcast recordings, including reporting on local news and events, local sports, politics, and international affairs. Many of the recordings on international affairs were hosted by news director William Chewning III. The radio broadcast recordings were recorded on 1/4" analog reel to reel tapes and include end of the year actuality compilations (edited sound bites of broadcast journalists), broadcast highlights, news reports, and reports on events of local significance. The majority of the recordings are from the 1970s and 1980s with some recordings from the late 1950s, 1960s, and early 1990s. There are a total of 482 reel to reel tape recordings in the collection. The WAGE radio recordings are only accessible in digital format (.wav and mp3 format), which will be transferred to a CD on request for in-library use. Included in the collection are several pieces of equipment used by WAGE Radio to produce and present programs. There are also various photographs and other visual materials of WAGE Radio sponsored and related events, including photos of home and trade shows and a 16" by 20" framed collage. There are also documents and records of WAGE material and WAGE media in the manuscript and oversized materials including correspondence, Crystal Radio Award documents, newspaper articles, advertisements, and event posters.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
