WRVA Radio Contract
 As the "Voice of Virginia" for over eight decades, WRVA Radio amassed a substantial number of sound recording including almost 318 hours of news, political conventions and speeches, and local and regional programs that offer a unique perspective into twentieth-century United States and Virginia history and culture. The Cutting Corporation was contracted for sound preservation and digitization of this collection. Most of the recordings were in good condition, but a significant amount of the recordings was suffering from various deterioration issues. This paper will discuss the background and significance of the WRVA recordings and technical issues encountered by Jay Gaidmore from The Library of Virginia and James Sam, Ryan Davis, and Anji Cornette from The Cutting Corporation.
