Radio Gold Index

I found this website because I was trying to find information on a Mr. Ferdinand Pecora, who was a New York-based judge and lawyer. In 1941, he participated in a short-wave radio broadcast to occupied Italy, which I thought was interesting - this from our very exciting trip down microfilm memory lane at the New York Public Library today!

I think it might be worth it to contact this guy, J. David Goldin. He does not own any of the recordings, but he has good information on how these archival recordings remain in existence, and also who you might contact for some of the recordings.

He recommends checking out the company Radio Spirits, which does actually own recordings.
