The Dixon Pentecostal Research Center holds copies of most of the radio programs from its beginning in analog media, primarily reel-to-reel audio tape. Historically, these media were used at various times to produce different length broadcasts and harvested for replays and editing new programs. In those days, that meant physically cutting and splicing tape. Therefore, many of our physical holdings are incomplete and imperfect when compared to the original broadcast production sequence.

Additionally, certain historic media formats are more vulnerable to rapid deterioration and problems, such as "sticky shed syndrome" — a condition caused by humidity in storage which leads to a gummy substance on the magnetic tape that will cause damage to the tape and/or the playback device if used without expert, prior treatment.

As we are able, we are making digitized versions of the radio programs available for researchers and other interested parties online and they will be linked in the individual broadcast records in this collection and are available on the Dixon Pentecostal Research Center's website.
