they're at the hoover institution archives. and this project could not have happened without both archives. the radio broadcasts, the handwritten versions, and all of the private papers are at the reagan library, although they are not controlled by the library. there's not a deed of gift. they are controlled by the reagans. they're private papers that happen to be housed there. so that's one place where reagan material is. the second place is the hoover institution, which controls the tapes. it was able to get hold of the tapes. harry o'connor was the producer of reagan's radio broadcasts. in fact, he was in hollywood at the time, in the '70s, and suggested the radio broadcasts to reagan as his governorship was coming to an end. he gave those to the hoover institution, and the hoover institution, as a result partly, i think, of this book, has had the old crumbling tapes and vinyl records from the '70s converted to cd so that they will be preserved. c-span: so they're all on cds now? >> guest: they're--they're all on cds. c-span

but they've been available, but they're just -- they're raw data just like any research archive.nd so we wanted to make them accessible in a way that people could digest it, that they could hear it. so we picked when we wanted to place it in context because it's the 50th anniversary, and it seemed like that would be a good way of celebrating that. and so ted widmer did a great job of picking out highlights that were not just interesting but also were significant and representative of the larger crises that were happening. so it's a combination of really good editing and the archivists now this stuff. and the archivists that work in the national archives across our system are incredible. >> as you listen to this, caroline, anything you heard changed the way you looked at your own father? >> well, i feel lucky that there are so many records of him, so that, you know, it's a way of connecting. and also just seeing him at work is so interesting because kids always want to know what their parents do at work. and your kids get to watch you on tv. >> they don't. >> but it's really diffe
