I have an archive of vintage radio and television broadcasts,both audio and video,and this web page is simply the place where I choose to list what I have available. The lists are up to date as of August,2008. Much of the material is from the 1950's and 1960's but the archive does include lots from other decades as well.
The material in my archive is on hard copies such as DVD's,CD's and audio cassettes and can be transfered to DVD's and CD's.I do not work with internet sound and video files or MP3 nor do I accept recordings made from them.
I am a private collector and this archive reflects my own interests. It was accumulated through contacts I made while working as a broadcaster and through trading with other collectors.
If you have similar material and want to trade,please email me with a list of what you have available at ahmintz@housing.umass.edu and I will send you a list of what I trade for at this time plus detailed trading guidelines
If there are video or audio on my lists that you are interested in having but have nothing to trade,you can still contact me and we will try to work something out so you can get what you want. My email address is ahmintz@housing.umass.edu I am no longer connected UMASS,I am a UMASS retiree and this archive is not connected to the University of Massachusetts in any way.
