CBS and the BBC launched "Transatlantic Call: People to People" during World War II as an exchange series of 13 radio programs designed to bring the two nations closer together and to tell the people of each country how their friends and allies are living, working and fighting. This event culminated a week-long work-a-thon whose goal was to bring together scholars to apply their skills to the transcription, annotation, contextualization, digitization and preservation of "Transatlantic Call" and other related broadcast materials being brought online by the American Folklife Center.
