Corporate And Broadcast Archives


​​RFE/RL's corporate and broadcast archives were donated to the Hoover Institution and are available at the Hoover Archives. The corporate archives include records of the Free Europe Committee and its non-Radio activities. RFE/RL retains copyright but encourages wide use of the materials.

Collecting information for RFE broadcasts in Munich
​​RFE/RL provided copies of its broadcast archives to partner European archive institutions to make them more easily available to users.

The archives of the RFE/RL Research Institute and its successor, the Open Media Research Institute, are in the custody of the Open Society Archive in Budapest.
