Broadcast Pioneers Library of American Broadcasting
Variant names
The Library of American Broadcasting was founded as the Broadcast Pioneers Library in 1972, in space donated by the National Association of Broadcasters. It was the brainchild of retired NBC executive William S. Hedges. The Library expanded rapidly in its first two decades, but faced space and budget problems. In October 1994, it moved to the University of Maryland Libraries, where it is now part of the Special Collections in Mass Media and Culture, located in UMD's Hornbake Library.
