Saving America's Best Radio Archive
Donation protected
The Pacifica Radio Archives is an American Treasure, the oldest and largest collections of Public Radio in the U.S. and it's deteriorating faster than we can measure.
This is the archive that recently discovered an unknown Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speech from 1964 recorded in London. LOST MLK recording
And it's the archive Yoko Ono just donated $10,000 to encourage others to join her in supporting our efforts to preserve our stories.
We are asking for tax deductible donations to the archives to dedicate to our preservation and access project, restoring these historic recordings and making them available to the public for free ...forever.
The funds will help send archives staff to the first conference of the National Radio Preservation Task Force at the Library of Congress where we will be building coalitions to help preserve our American memory broadcast on radio. The funds will be used to match pending grant applications, support staff, operations and our project to bring these recordings to life again and put them in the hands of the scholars, teachers, authors, researchers and fans of history.
Funds will help production costs of our weekly public radio series, From the Vault Radio , heard on over 35 community radio stations nationwide.
We need funds by January 31, 2016 in order to sustain our operations and plan for the February conference in Washington D.C.
The payoff is huge. With each recording preserved and released to the world, we deepen our understanding of ourselves and become intimately familiar with those individuals who helped pave the way. Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Dorothy Day, Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King Jr., Lord Bertrand Russell, Lena Horne, ...and about 55,0000 others.
We thank you for considering this as a way to help preserve American History for the future generations.
