Collection no. 0109, Special Collections, USC Libraries, University of Southern California
COLLECTION STORED OFF-SITE. Advance notice required for access.
Donated by Theodore S. DeLay, Jr., May 1951.
Research archive gathered by Theodore S. Delay in support of his 1951 USC dissertation, "An Historical Study of the Armed
Forces Radio Service to 1946". The collection largely consists of memorandums and reports of official U.S. Army origin, and
copies of "AFRS Playback Magazine". The accompanying correspondence and letters of transmittal make it clear that they were
most willingly made available to Mr. Delay. The period covered is 1944-45, and the focus is on the Pacific, not the European
theater of action. Many Hollywood personalities contributed to the success of AFRS.
