Library of American Broadcasting

The Library expanded rapidly for twenty years; but as space and funding became increasingly scarce, its governing board decided to seek another setting for the collection.

They chose the University of Maryland, and in October 1994, the Library moved to its new location.

[4] the Library holds many collections of note, including the papers of Sol Taishoff, founder of the influential industry publication Broadcasting;[4] the papers of Helen J. Sioussat, director of the Talks Department at CBS (1937–58);[5] scrapbooks, discs, photographs, speeches, scripts, awards, magazine and newspaper articles, and correspondence of Edward M. Kirby, Chief of the Radio Branch of the War Department in World War II, later also Chief of the Army's Radio-TV Branch in the Korean Conflict;[6][7] and the papers of Edythe Meserand, radio executive and first President of American Women in Radio and Television, among others.

The holdings of the Library yielded photographs of Murrow, as well as a number of shots of the CBS studios and offices of that era.

These were instrumental in creating the period detail of the film, which received a total of six Academy Award nominations, one for Art Direction.
