 Robb DeWall Collection
Robb DeWall (pictured at right), a long time resident of Rapid City, broadcast journalist and historian was the EBS (Emergency Broadcasting System) broadcaster during the first 13 hours of the Rapid City Flood of 1972. His papers were donated by his estate to be preserved electronically by the Rapid City Public Library and retained in archive with the Minnilusa Historical Society.
Transcripts of broadcasts and the broadcasts themselves are used by permission of KOTA.
Below, we offer this information in multiple formats. The transcripts have been scanned and accumulated into .pdf files, digitally preserving the typed originals. Because they contain page images, the files are large and can take awhile to download. Alternatively, our users may choose the same document in text format (duplicated for faster download - but not an exact replica). We will continue to add more of the DeWall collection documents as they are scanned and duplicated.
