NOTE: All FCC records (which still exist) prior to 1969 are now stored at the National Archives "Archives II" building in College Park, Maryland.
FCC Accession lists - the first accession lists I have transcribed are ready. Use these to access the records at the National Archives. I have copies of the other accession lists. Contact me for how to get hard copies of lists not already transcribed.
For details of what is actually in the boxes listed in the FCC accession lists, see these James Snyder authored documents:
