- Scope and Contents
-
The records consist of correspondence, scripts, schedules, logs, training materials, meeting minutes, policies and bylaws, contracts, articles, printed matter, photographs, and audiotapes that document the programming, operations and governance of WYBC, Yale's undergraduate radio station. In addition to documenting WYBC's general history and development, programming records, correspondence, and training materials provide insight into evolving musical and theatrical tastes, Yale's changing relationship with women, and the undergraduate apprenticeship system of "heeling." News reports and editorials also document campus events and student sentiments. Of particular interest are the news broadcasts and reporter notes from WYBC's live broadcast of student protests on the New Haven Green during May 1970. Station records also document changes in WYBC policy and personnel regarding African-American programming and WYBC's role in the New Haven community.
