We have a fair number of audio recordings of public programs and lectures at The New School going back to the late 1950s--certain of them bear evidence of having been recorded by Pacifica Radio at The New School (I'd have to call them in from offsite storage to check if the station name bears the names of both WBAI and Pacifica), and indicates air dates. These are on 1/4" reel to reel tape. We have a small amount of documentation between TNS and the station(s) and surmise that The New School had a relationship with WBAI or Pacifica to record and broadcast lectures/programs featuring well-known participants. The Pacifica Radio Archive lists at least some of these recordings in its online catalog.

"Many of these reel to reels and the 78s are segments, not actual broadcast recordings of lectures and recorded events. I have recordings of the events/interviews and stock background music but not the production pieces as they were aired from what I can discern."
