Notes:
This collection is being handed over for holding from the Maine Association of Broadcasters to the Department of Communication and Journalism at the University of Maine. The Department will make a complete listing of its contents, and then Special Collections at the University of Maine will decide what (if any) it is willing to take. Special Collections has informed me that they are only interested in the local materials, which comprise 50% or less of collection. I will be in touch as we move forward cataloging the recordings.
