Notes

The black and white prints of RFE/RL were donated to OSA by the Hoover Institute, California in year 2015. The images are duplicates of those held at Hoover. 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.

Contents Summary

Spacious office with shelves covering two walls. The shelves hold tightly packed binders and card file drawers. In the far end of the photo three women work, one is standing at an open drawer sifting through the cards, the second is on a step ladder and reaching up for one of the binders, the third is sitting at a huge desk and reading a piece of paper. They are elegantly dressed. On the desk there are papers scattered around and in stacks and a set of stamps. By the desk there is a window. In the left bottom corner of the photo there is a part of another desk with a few papers on it. There is a carpet on the floor where the women work. The Research Institute of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty monitored not only its target countries' broadcast operations and their programs but also their printed press. To make the information gathered from these sources accessible for the analysts and editors working at the Radios, they have created keyword systems and were collecting and filing articles related to the various subjects from the 1950s till 1995. Thus RFE/RL created a thematically structured press clipping archives consisting of, inter alia, Subject Files and Biographical Files. The paper based hard copy of the press clipping archives, in hard copy is accessible at Blinken OSA Archives since 1995. Cf. HU OSA 300-1-8/1:80, HU OSA 300-1-8/1:81.
