Manuscripts are one of the more interesting collections in The Barco Library. These are unique, primary resource materials that can give insight into an individual, a company or an association. A few of the collections that one can find in The Library are the early records of the launch of Oxygen Network, CTAM's Mark Awards dating back to the 1980s, early correspondence with Ed Parsons, one of the first cable television pioneers and the research notes of Thomas Soutwick, author of Distant Signals.
