Thousands of Books Available!
The Library of American Broadcasting holds a wide-ranging collection of audio and video recordings, books, pamphlets, periodicals, personal collections, oral histories, photographs, scripts and vertical files devoted exclusively to the history of broadcasting. Founded in 1972 as the Broadcast Pioneers Library, it was housed in the headquarters of the National Association of Broadcasters in Washington, D.C., until 1994, when it became part of the University of Maryland Libraries.
The Library is open from 10am to 5pm, Monday-Friday, and is located on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park. It is housed in Hornbake Library along with the University’s other broadcast-related collection, the National Public Broadcasting Archives.
