The Washington State Association of Broadcasters, a trade association for radio and
television, was first organized in 1935. The association has had a de facto
permanent secretary located at Washington State University since the early 1950s.
The association's public relations and lobbying activities are officially located in
Seattle.
The records of the Washington State Association of Broadcasters consist of subject
files that include correspondence, financial records, meetings records, and WSAB
Bulletins. The records are obviously incomplete, with very apparent gaps at
different points, the largest being 1963-1976. The location of the missing records
is not known.
Organized in 3 series, arranged chronologically within each series.
This collection is open and available for research use.
Copyright restrictions may apply.
