About this collection

The RCA News and Information Department served a public affairs role for RCA corporate headquarters at Rockefeller Center in New York City.

The RCA News and Information Department photographs (Accession 2462.68) collection contains photographs and negatives created or commissioned by RCA that document much of RCA’s history and activities. Many of the photographs were organized by the News and Information Department into subjects that cover the history of radio, television, communications, and consumer electronics, with a particular emphasis on RCA's role in that history. It has not been digitized in its entirety.

This collection is part of the David Sarnoff Library collections (Accession 2464). These collections were the holdings of the David Sarnoff Library, founded in 1967 as part of the David Sarnoff Research Center. When the library closed in 2009, its archival collections were donated to Hagley Library.
