American Radio Archive

The American Radio Archive, established in 1984 by the Thousand Oaks Library Foundation, contains manuscripts, sound recordings, scripts, books, photographs and other materials that vividly reflect the history of radio and radio broadcasting. It is located in the Thousand Oaks, California Library and is one of the library's special collections.

The archive is made up of numerous collections, including the Norman Corwin Collection and the Rudy Vallee Collection.

The bulk of accessible materials documents Corwin's career in radio and television broadcasting, motion pictures, the theater, and as an author and teacher, from 1935 to 1990.

The Rudy Vallee Collection constitutes the great majority of personal documents in Vallee's possession at the time of his death, including correspondence, scrapbooks, radio and television scripts, sound recordings, musical scores, photographs, business records, press clippings, and various ephemera.
