Thomas H. White's - reasearch about early radio in the US
The Sarnoff Story - Nice site on the history of David Sarnoff's work and the Sarnoff Corporation
History of the CBC and Radio in Canada - The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's History Site. Living as close as I do to the Canadian Border, I have had the pleasure of listening to one of the really great radio networks. The CBC has produced some of the best radio in the world.
A History of Broadcasting in the San Francisco Bay Area - by John Schneider
Farnsworth - Early Television, and a brilliant mind.
One of the Best Collections in the Northwest - There are other fine collections of radio on the internet. This links to one of the very best, and though this fine collection is not open to the public, it ranks as one of the best collections of early radio in the Pacific Northwest. Also it is an example of a well done display of antique radios and early electronic equipment using the internet. The Bellingham Antique Radio Museum RECOMMENDS a visit.
Radiola Guy - For those of you who wish to purchase a vintage radio or TV, want excellent restoration work done or view part of his personal collection, the Bellingham Antique Radio Museum recommends The Radiolaguy. I have known the Radiolaguy for many years, and can personally vouch for his excellent work and for his honesty. He is located in SW Washington and is a member of the Northwest Vintage Radio Society.

 

I have added this link because the Bellingham Antique Radio Museum does not sell radios, and we are often asked where to buy an old radio, or where to have a true restoration done. Though there are many excellent resources around the country, this is one which the Museum has used and one which can be trusted. JW.

Marconi Speaks.... His vision of the future of Radio - We should build a page that gives a little history about Marconi and the recording itself.
The Bellingham Antique Radio Museum's collection
You can view a sampling from the Bellingham Antique Radio Museum's collection. You'll find full color photos and brief descriptions of each item. There are radio sets, speakers, microphones, tubes, coils and more. Maybe you will find something that matches the old radio you've had in your attic for years!
The Sounds of Broadcasting
You can listen to radio history right on your computer! If you have the RealAudio plug-in for Netscape you fully explore some of the more historic broadcasts ever made. Plus there are a number of clips of radio entertainment shows from the early days of broadcasting as well as a variety of early advertisments. Some of these companies have been at it a long time!
