Audiotapes, 1982-1991
The audiotapes subseries consists of over 1800 tapes in twenty boxes. These tapes are first arranged according to format (reel-to-reel and cassette), then in a strict chronological order. These audiotapes primarily document Blanchard's public appearances, speeches, press conferences, and press interviews. There are some tapes of other members of the Blanchard team, describing their work or the administration's position on an issue. These audiotapes were viewed as the core collection fulfilling the archival mission of the office, so were preserved in excellent order. Given the high esteem accorded these audiotapes, all identifiable tapes were retained.
