David Sarnoff Collection
Excerpt: 

Built in 1967 by RCA, the David Sarnoff Library contains a museum, an archive, a library, and this website. Besides Mr. Sarnoff's papers and memorabilia, the Library's holdings include 25,000 photographs and thousands of notebooks, reports, publications, and artifacts related to the histories of RCA Laboratories and RCA. At this site you will find exhibits, timelines, galleries, links, and references.

Annotation: 

The David Sarnoff Library is named for the pioneering President of RCA (Radio Corporation of America), a division of General Electric and one of the earliest industry leaders in radio and television technology. The site contains timelines of Sarnoff, RCA, radio, television, and several other topics. A large number of images are also available on a range of subjects such as early television performers and equipment. The site is still under construction, but the final edition will include memoirs of former engineers and workers at the RCA labs.
