Papers of an NBC vice-president for integrated services, 1951-1959, which consist of fragmentary and routine correspondence, clippings, memos, reports, charts, speeches, financial data, and related material. Divided chronologically by year and then alphabetically by subject, the files are best for Hedges' responsibility for the divisions of integrated services: the general library, guest relations, transportation, traffic, purchasing, and the night executive officer. The papers treat such varied topics as union negotiations, safety regulations, disposition of NBC facilities, tours and displays, and television demonstrations. Hedges' activity in several professional organizations is reflected in the files on the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters, the oral history project of the Radio Pioneers and Columbia University, and the Radio and Television Executives Society.
