National Capital Radio & Television Museum

Opened in June 1999, and located  just outside Washington. DC in Bowie, MD, the National Capital Radio & Television Museum provides a great display of radio-TV receivers and related material from before the 1920s to the recent past. It is operated by a team of volunteers, many of them collectors of radio and television material. I’ve been on its board since about a year before the museum opened, and have chaired that board since 2009.  Here are web URLs to that museum and many more related sites across the country and in Canada. For further useful websites and related books, see my page on Electronic Media History
