Leonard H. Goldenson Collection 1915-1994

http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt1p3037f5

The Leonard H. Goldenson Collection documents the activities of the American Broadcasting System network in the United States and it's interests outside of the country. The collection includes memoranda, correspondence, reports, speeches, reports, policy statements, scant photographs and a small amount of legal and financial papers. Although incomplete at several levels, the collection offers representative coverage of operations in advertising, programming, research, sales, television, and news and public affairs broadcasting and the expansion of the network into the movie industry primarily from the 1950's through the late 1960's.
