Preserving HBCU Radio Archives ft Jocelyn Robinson


Listen Later

Show hosts Jesse Johnston and Evan Haywood talk with Jocelyn Robinson about the preservation of archives from HBCU radio stations. Robinson is the director of radio preservation and archives at WYSO Public Radio and working on a project to preserve radio broadcast archives at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. During the conversation, she shared about the history of these radio stations and their importance to campus life, and her ongoing work to gather resources to survey and preserve the archives of about 30 stations throughout the southeast. We also talked about the content and sound of the stations, which led us into thinking about why audio archives are so unique and important, as well as some tips on how to start out on an audio archiving project.
