Edward R. Murrow's audio essays with the famous -- and not-so-famous -- have been digitized and put online

Edward R. Murrow's audio essays with the famous -- and not-so-famous -- have been digitized and put online. Computerworld. Lucas Mearian. July 12, 2013.
Over 800 oral essays from Edward R. Murrow's 1950s radio series, This I Believe, have been placed online for public use by Tufts University. The audio collection comes from almost 800 reel-to-reel tape recordings "that were nearly lost forever due to natural wear and tear from more than 50 years in less than ideal storage." The engineers captured the analogue recordings using a 96K, 24-bit high resolution WAV format.
