Records of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), a
professional organization established in 1948, which included the American Council on Public
Relations, the National Association of Public Relations Councils, and the American Public
Relations Association. The collection consists primarily of recordings of conferences and
seminars and prize-winning entries in the organization's Silver Anvil competition.
Competition exhibits, 1954-2014, document the noteworthy public relations activities of many
corporations, trade associations, public welfare organizations, educational institutions,
communities, and government agencies. Among the most prominent are Bendix Corporation, Boy
Scouts of America, Bulova Watch Company, General Electric Company, General Motors
Corporation, Kiwanis International, Life, Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, Look, NBC,
National Dairy Council, National Safety Council, National Urban League, Parker Pen Company,
Schlitz Brewing Company, Standard Oil of Ohio, 3M Company, Time, and Whirlpool Corporation.
Also includes administrative records, financial documents, scrapbooks with clippings and
newsletters (1949-1960), a film about publications sponsored by United Press International,
and various publications including monographs. Seminars and conventions included addresses
by Cleveland Amory, Karl A. Menninger, and Edward R. Murrow, which are present in recorded
form, as is a presentation to the United States Department of Defense on the importance of a
well-informed public.
