Scope
and Content
The Barbara Stanwyck collection focuses exclusively on her
life as a movie and television actress. It includes her movie and television
scripts, audiotapes of her performances, some of her films, and her awards.
The audiotapes were recorded from television and radio broadcasts as they
were available and are neither in chronological nor subject order. Movie,
television, and/or radio performances sometimes appear on the same tape.
It is therefore necessary to read this section carefully to locate titles.
