Rundell, Hugh Augustus
Hugh Augustus Rundell
Papers
1938-1983
9 containers.
4 linear feet of shelf space.
Correspondence and subject files,
principally regarding the Department of Communications at Washington State
University, along with transcriptions and working papers from the Pacific
Northwest Broadcasting Oral History Project.
Collection materials are in
English.
Hugh Rundell was born at Madison, Wisconsin, in 1919. He graduated
from Ripon College and the University of Wisconsin, taking a degree in speech
with some emphasis on radio. After service in the Army and employment at the
University of West Virginia, he joined the faculty of Washington State College
in 1948 as an Assistant Professor of Speech.
Rundell worked for WSU until retirement in 1982, concentrating on a
variety of radio-related jobs, both with the college radio station and in
classes. He was well-known as the author of a pronunciation guide to place
names in Washington and the announcer on the widely-syndicated program
Legendary Pianist.
During 1976-1978 Rundell conducted a series of oral interviews of
several radio broadcasting pioneers in the Northwest.
WSU Libraries staff have arranged the Papers of Hugh Rundell and
related the Pacific Northwest Broadcasting Oral History Project papers as a
single collection of personal papers, largely because the working papers of the
oral history project were intermingled in Rundell's papers.
Series 1 consists of recording tapes, transcriptions and similar oral
history materials. Series 2 consists of papers and correspondence of Hugh
Rundell, related both to this project and to broadcasting and teaching in
general. The general correspondence covers a wide range of broadcasting
subjects, including activities of the Communications Department at Washington
State University.
This collection is open for research use.
