The originals, and most probably the negatives are with the donor as well. OSA only received the paper prints with captions, and digitized the entire collection in year 2018.

Radio Free Europe is now in its 11th year of successful operation. East Europeans have come to depend upon RFE's programs, which are heard in spite of Soviet jamming attempts.
The nationwide goal of the 1962 Radio Free Europe Fund drive is $ 11,000,000. Every cent donated to the Fund is used in fighting Communist propaganda through RFE's broadcasts.
