Audio files

This series consists of three subseries organized by format - cassette tapes (SC), open-reel tapes (SR), and phonograph records (PR). The contents are similar in that they consist of recordings of Muskie's speeches and other public remarks, including question-and-answer sessions, press conferences, radio and television interviews and news broadcasts, campaign spots for broadcast over radio or television, and congressional hearings. Most were made by Muskie's Senate or campaign staff for later reference, although numerous items are recordings of Muskie appearances on various radio and television programs. The recordings also contain a large number of audio press releases, called "beepers", prepared by Muskie's senate staff.
