Old Time Radio Resources

I thought we had an OTR Resources page, but couldn't find it when I searched for it. So, now we have one.

The reason I was looking for an OTR Resouces page, was because I wanted to share this book from 1930, called Stars of the Radio. It's in pdf format and has about 250 pictures and brief bio's of radio performers from the era.

Thanks for sharing this, Space - pretty cool!

This may be extremely helpful for some doing research. This site has hundreds of online books covering radio and TV history. As well as quite a few on hardware. Their header states "Five million pages of AM FM & TV Broadcasting history online." Most of the books are in PDF format, and you should be able to save them on your own computer.

Thank you for this book.  I'm adding it to my OTR Information Folder.

This is the second time my browser has issued a warning when I started to click on a link here. I ignored that first warning, but my browser had been right.  I won't make that mistake again. Anyway, my browser just issued a warning for a link on "Stars of the Radio PDF." Use that information as you want.

I am now using that site for a project that will probably take me several days to finish. (There's a law of diminishing returns when it comes to spending too many hours at a time on the computer) Anyway, I'm very impressed with it, except for its slowness. Slow? they still haven't answered my question about how to make a contribution, although I've made the offer twice. Anyway, the site is s-l-o-w. It also may not be functioning properly. Try to have things put in date order, and you'll see what I mean. Aside from those problems, the site is great. It's especially great because it was so totally unexpected. What's the word? Oh, yes, serendipity.

These links were posted some time ago but they still work. Thanks for the odd book and also the download links! Some great stuff to be found.
