[NJARC] Belmar and other radio history items online

[Fred Carl]

Hello Alex,

   Thank you.  This new resource looks great.  It should provide us with 
some more great Camp Evans history.  One click is worth a dozen visits to a 
dozen archives...well, not really.  But if you can not get there, this is 
great.

   George A. Clark was a radio operator at the Belmar Marconi Station.  This 
is where he started the collection.   The collection has a number of items 
from the Belmar Station, which we have copies of at Camp Evans.  Back in 
2002, I contracted with the Smithsonian to digitize the photos.  We have 
enlargements on display in the west first floor hallway for visitors to 
enjoy.  The Smithsonian also gave us permission (in writing with publication 
restrictions) to post them on the InfoAge website.  The link is below.  The 
goal was to enable professional historians to locate the photos to include 
in their work.

Sincerely,
Fred
