About the History Cards …

History Cards were first used by the Department of Commerce to keep track of applications filed by,

and changes to, the earliest AM broadcast stations in the early 1920s. The records were

subsequently transferred to the Federal Radio Commission in 1927, and after that to the Federal

Communications Commission when that agency was created in 1934. These cards gradually grew

into a large card file. History Cards remained in use until the creation of the first computerized

database in 1980 to track broadcast applications, the Broadcast Application Processing System

(BAPS). However, the Commission did not transfer the data from the History Cards to the new

system. Instead, it retained the History Cards in their original form – 3” by 5 “ filing cards – for

reference.

1n 1999, the Commission moved to a new location (445 12th Street SW), and also at that time

created the successor database to BAPS, the Consolidated DataBase System (CDBS). The History

Cards were transferred to microfiche by a contractor (only one set is known to exist), and the

original paper cards were destroyed. The History Cards were stored on the microfiche as negative

images, like those you see above. Generally, they have been left as negatives as those are often

easier to read.

History Cards contain very brief entries and notes about station facilities, applications, and

ownership. They are not, and never were intended to be, a comprehensive record of a station’s

operations. Nevertheless, they can be useful to help determine, for example, when a station first

went on the air and its call letters at that time. History Card comments were generally typed onto

the cards, and thus some records will show more faintly or with more smudging than others,

depending on the quality of typewriter and ribbon then used. Occasional handwritten comments,

corrections, and strikeouts may also be found. Cards may be incomplete, missing, or occasionally

out of sequence.

The History Cards are presented here as they were copied to microfiche, to preserve this record for

public use, and with the hope that they will be of value to future researchers of radio station history.
