Custodial history
The Will Reeder radio broadcast collection comprises about 56 audio discs of off-air home recordings, made in 1933-1934 by Vancouver broadcaster and radio enthusiast Will Reeder. Vancouver collector Tom Hood dubbed the original discs to audio cassette for the BC Archives between 1982-11-08 and 1983-10-03; these tapes were accessioned as T4024:0001-0007. Later, on 1985-03-25, Mr. Hood donated the discs themselves to the archives (SD0169:0041-0091, 0106-0108, and 0020-0021).
