- Scope and Contents
- This sub-series documents aspects of Carpenter's long professional collaboration and relationship with media theorist Marshall McLuhan. It includes Carpenter's reflections and memories of McLuhan's life, written after the latter's death (some of which is also detailed in sub-series 2.3 Memoir); various drafts and notes on the topics of media theory and mass communications; and press clippings and articles related to McLuhan's life and work, as well select articles and reviews written by McLuhan and a sound recording of a 1973 lecture by McLuhan entitled "Ideas." Of special mention in this sub-series is an annotated copy of Understanding Media: A Report to the United States Office of Education from the National Association of Educational Broadcasters (1960) – otherwise titled Report on Project in Understanding New Media. This report is a curriculum created for the NAEB on media literacy, a precursor to McLuhan's seminal work Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (1964). Also included in the sub-series are annotated copies of draft chapters from 1964's Understanding Media, sent to Carpenter for review. Correspondence between Carpenter and McLuhan can be found in Series 3: Correspondence.
- Restrictions
- Use of archival sound recordings with no duplicate access copy requires advance notice.
