Entries are further subdivided by institution and special collection, and include address, hours, and services. This source also contains seven authoritative essays on historical writing, research, databases, bibliographies, oral history, etc. . . . Caswell has identified in painstaking detail a large number of collections and finally made them accessible to educators, historians, graduate students, and communications librarians. Highly recommended. \u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe history of journalism is generally regarded as one of the least developed and most widely overlooked areas of mass communications scholarship and teaching.
