Subject: Inquiry on Rights/Licensing - Phenomenal Collection!

This is such an amazing collection!

I am interested in using some of these broadcasts in a sound art piece to be used with a musical production on the ATA Girls of WWII. Would you know which if any are in the public domain, or who to contact to acquire licensing for use?

Thank you very much for such a fascinating collection! We can be reached at arhavermann@gmail.com.
