Notable members were Drue Smith and Doris "Cousin Tuny" Freeman. Also included in the collection is the AWRT national newsletter, "AWRT News and Views" from 1964-1965. Featured in it are photos of Nashville Chapter, AWRT members Olean Holloway, Juanita Jones, Evelyn McDonald and Drue Smith.

Biographical or Historical Data
The Nashville Chapter of the American Women in Radio and Television was founded in 1958 to be a support network for women working in the broadcast industry. Members strove to educate themselves so that they could in turn educate the public about the strengths of radio and television. The Chapter was awarded the Silver Satellite Award by the national organization in 1980 for "outstanding accomplishments in the field of broadcasting." The Nashville Chapter closed in the 1980s.
