ARDC Grant (2022)

These files are an exhaustive effort to document both the development of telegraphy, at the University of Michigan, and also the achievements of the amateur radio club.  This content was made possible with the support from the Bentley Historical Library and financial assistance from the American Radio Digital Communications (ARDC).
