Includes 2,300 Special Collections in public and private repositories throughout the United States, a Bibliography with 1,400 citations grouped into 54 user friendly categories from Advertising to World War II, 100] research oriented Internet sites and an Index that integrates all 3,800 listings and which can be searched by program title, person or subject.
