 PPB ARCHIVES
Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters has accumulated one of the largest private collections of memorabilia pertaining to the history of radio broadcasting. Included in this collection are original recording transcriptions, scripts, photographs, publications, equipment, sound effects, and other radio memorabilia.

Material is continually being sought by PPB Director of Acquisitions Martin Halperin through donations and bequests.

In the past, this material was available to members and bonafide researchers in our PPB Clubroom, located in the basement of the Washington Mutual Building at Sunset and Vine. Unfortunately, this has not been possible since the December 2004 underground power transformer failure which released contaminants into our Clubroom. Our collection has been sealed there, awaiting resolution of a lawsuit filed by PPB after Los Angeles Department of Water and Power rejected our claim for clean-up costs. In the meantime, if you need information about the PPB collection, you may write to:
Archives
Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters
P.O. Box 4866
North Hollywood, CA 91617
Or you may send your request via e-mail to our Archivist.

 AMERICAN RADIO ARCHIVES

In January of 2001 a joint venture was created between Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters and the Thousand Oaks Library Foundation to create the American Radio Archives. When the collections of PPB and Thousand Oaks are combined it will become the largest collection of radio material in the United States. All material will be carefully cataloged and will be available to researchers and scholars. Plans are underway for a brand new American Radio Archives addition to the Library to house the collection.

Look here for material already available as a part of the Special Collections of the Thousand Oaks Library and go to PPB Collection for a partial list of the many items stored in the vaults of the PPB Clubhouse.
