An ambitious project to box, label, and accurately count the 80,000 seven-inch open-reel audiotapes in the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) broadcast records is complete.
Thirty-nine tape recordings containing the speeches and words of Boris Nicolaevsky, Rafail Abramovich Abramovich, and others have been completely digitized for access and preservation.
Two English-language films produced by RFE/RL in the 1960s can be viewed on Hoover’s RFE/RL website. The films, which were used to promote RFE/RL operations in the United States, are part of the RFE/RL corporate records held by the Hoover Institution Archives.
Nine hundred and fifty sound recordings of programs presented at the Commonwealth Club before 1980 are now fully described in Hoover’s database of club recordings.
Supplementing its usual daily research traffic, the opening of more Chiang Kai-shek diaries and a two-week visit by the Hoover Soviet Archives Research Project team saw the Hoover Archives achieve a new visitor record on July 14.
