[Milsurplus] ARTA Newspaper

Hugh..  Good thought, and could I recommend the Antique Wireless
Association. The Collins Collectors Association has an alliance with them
for archiving material related to Collins as well as one with the Rockwell
Collins folks.  Your material sounds just right for the AWA. They have a
great website for such things also.

 

I can put you in touch with the curator of their museum if you wish.  His
name is Bruce Roloson, W2BDR  .

Subject: [Milsurplus] ARTA Newspaper

 

I have one copy of the newspaper of the 'American Radio Telegraphists
Association'  ( "ARTA" ) from 1935.

Right now it's hidden from the world in my archives.
I'd welcome suggestions on where to donate it that it would be scanned and
put online; not just so it goes 

to hide in someone else's archive. Nothing extremely revelatory in it; but
it's interesting the level of wage 

disputes, strikes, unrest; this i suppose a natural, considering the
telegraphist job was a well-paid, relatively,

in a time of continued depression. 

If you look online, there's not a lot to be found on the ARTA. That would be
an interesting story itself, the 

origin and closure of this union. I think now, i actually have an ARTA
membership card too. If that's true,

it might be fun to photoshop edit it to remove the name on it, for your home
printing pleasure.
