As of May 2025, Northwestern University’s WGN radio archive (1941-2011) is inventoried and available here. To access original recordings, they must first be digitized, and requests for digitization can be made by researchers beginning September 1, 2025 via email to specialcollections@northwestern.edu. Due to resource constraints, WGN radio digitization requests are fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis on a monthly cycle. Each researcher can request up to two items per month until we reach a maximum of 20 total items for audio-visual digitization per month. Turnaround time will range from 6-8 weeks, and all researchers must secure permission for usage of recordings from WGN.
