History of KLSU
ABOUT
In 1915, Louisiana State University professors installed a wireless
station, laying the groundwork for the campus radio station that
would eventually become KLSU.
This exhibit walks through a century of campus radio evolution and
draws from newspaper articles, university archives materials, and
oral histories-all of which are available through LSU Libraries
Special Collections. All oral history interviews from which excerpts
were taken are housed with the Williams Center for Oral History and
can be accessed through LSU Libraries Special Collections, Louisiana
and Lower Mississippi Valley Collections, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
For specific citation information regarding each interview, please
contact Center staff at
http://www.lib.lsu.edu/oralhistory. All other citations for
materials are contained within the
exhibit.
The digital exhibition was curated by Charlotte Willcox, on staff
with the Williams Center for Oral History. Jennifer Abraham , Center
Director, was responsible for concept, oversight, and editing. Erin
Hess, the Center's Manuscript Processor copy edited text. The
listening station interface was designed and installed by Kyle
Tanglao, Computer Analyst, who also engineered the audio.
We appreciate the help of many other staff members for their
assistance throughout various stages of planning and installation.
