NEDCC Helps Preserve HBCU Radio Station Audio Recordings    

NEDCC partners with WYSO in Yellow Springs, OH, on a Mellon-funded grant project to preserve audio recordings from radio stations at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). WYSO and the Eichelberger Center for Community Voices have been awarded a $250,000 grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support a project to preserve archival audio on black college campuses around the country.   NEDCC will work with The Eichelberger Center to assist radio stations and archives at HBCUs throughout the country. The team will help the institutions assess their historical audio inventory and create plans for preserving the material. Providing expertise from its Preservation Services and Audio Preservation departments, NEDCC will offer training in audio preservation and disaster planning, and will perform collection-level assessments and other consultations.
