Abstract
12,600 Items
David B. McCall was an
advertising executive and humanitarian. He was the originator of the idea for
the children's educational television series
Schoolhouse Rock.
The David B. McCall Papers span the years
1939-1999, with the bulk documenting the years 1980-1994, and are comprised of
clippings, correspondence, business reports, photographs, scrapbooks, speeches
and writings, videocassettes, audio tapes and phonograph records. In
particular, three main areas of McCall's career are represented: as an
advertising executive and partner in agencies such as Young & Rubicam,
Ogilvy Benson & Mather, McCaffrey & McCall, David J. Mahoney, Inc., the
Sawyer Miller Group, and Shepardson Stern and Kaminsky; as a corporate director
for the Hunter Fan Company, Save the Children, and two local radio broadcasting
corporations, among others; and as a humanitarian involved with organizations
such as the Committee for the Support of Roe v. Wade, CARE, and Refugees
International. In addition, there is a substantial body of McCall's speeches
and writings that reflect both the wide range of his professional and personal
interests and commitments as well as his status as a public intellectual in
high demand, as well as a number of files containing correspondence, clippings
and articles concerning David Ogilvy, McCall's mentor in advertising. Major
advertising campaigns represented in this collection include Mercedes Benz of
North America, North American Philips,
Life magazine, the American Can Company,
Lever Brothers Company, and the Zippo Manufacturing Company, along with public
relations work for such clients as the National Football League, Puerto Rico
Telephone Company (PRTC), and the Regional Bell Operating Companies. Major
humanitarian issues documented in the collection include the
"Unsell"
protest movement against the war in
Vietnam, tobacco advertising aimed at children, land mine removal, refugee
welfare, and support of abortion rights. McCall was also involved in political
campaigns for a number of notable candidates, such as John Lindsay (New York),
Harvey Gannt (North Carolina), George Kevarian (Massachusetts), Ramón Mitra
(Philippines) and Mario Vargas Llosa (Peru). While McCall is recognized as the
originator of the idea behind the popular children's educational television
series
Schoolhouse Rock!, the collection
contains very little documentation concerning that project apart from a copy of
the original soundtrack.

Collection Overview
The David B. McCall Papers span the years 1939-1999, with the bulk
documenting the years 1980-1994, and are comprised of clippings,
correspondence, business reports, photographs, scrapbooks, speeches and
writings, videocassettes, audio tapes and phonograph records. In particular,
three main areas of McCall's career are represented: as an advertising
executive and partner in agencies such as
Young & Rubicam,
Ogilvy Benson & Mather,
McCaffrey & McCall,
David J. Mahoney, Inc., the
Sawyer Miller Group, and
Shepardson Stern and Kaminsky; as a corporate
director for the
Hunter Fan Company,
Save the Children, and two local radio
broadcasting corporations, among others; and as a humanitarian involved with
organizations such as the
Committee for the Support of Roe v. Wade,
CARE, and
Refugees International. In addition, there is a
substantial body of McCall's speeches and writings that reflect both the wide
range of his professional and personal interests and commitments as well as his
status as a public intellectual in high demand, as well as a number of files
containing correspondence, clippings and articles concerning David Ogilvy,
McCall's mentor in advertising. Major advertising campaigns represented in this
collection include
Mercedes Benz of North America,
North American Philips,
Life magazine, the
American Can Company,
Lever Brothers Company, and the
Zippo Manufacturing Company, along with public
relations work for such clients as the
National Football League,
Puerto Rico Telephone Company (PRTC), and the
Regional Bell Operating Companies. Major
humanitarian issues documented in the collection include the
"Unsell"
protest movement against the war in
Vietnam, tobacco advertising aimed at children, land mine removal, refugee
welfare, and support of abortion rights. McCall was also involved in political
campaigns for a number of notable candidates, such as John Lindsay (New York),
Harvey Gannt (North Carolina), George Kevarian (Massachusetts), Ramón Mitra
(Philippines) and Mario Vargas Llosa (Peru). While McCall is recognized as the
originator of the idea behind the popular children's educational television
series
Schoolhouse Rock!, the collection contains
very little documentation concerning that project apart from a copy of the
original soundtrack.
The collection is organized into 12 series that broadly outline the
sequence of McCall's business and humanitarian activities: the
Biographical and Personal Materials Series, the
Ogilvy & Mather Series, the McCaffrey & McCall Series, the Radio Stations Series, the Sawyer
Miller Group Series, the Hunter Fan Company
Series, the Shepardson, Stern & Kaminsky
Series, the Refugees International Series,
the Speeches Series, the Writings Series, and the Portfolio
Series. In addition, non-print materials have been removed to the
Audiovisual Materials Series. Large-format print
materials have been removed from their original series locations and relocated
to Oversize Materials locations; these items have
been cross-referenced to the points in the body of the collection from which
they were removed.
The Biographical and Personal Materials
Series contains materials relating to McCall's childhood and family
life, and includes correspondence, photographs, biographical sketches, résumés
and obituary notices. The Ogilvy & Mather Series
includes correspondence and articles pertaining to the agency, along with
profiles and tributes to agency founder
David Ogilvy and correspondence between Ogilvy and
McCall. The McCaffrey & McCall Series includes
correspondence, corporate publications and client files. Legal documents that
detail McCall's initial investment and employment in the C.J. Laroche & Co.
agency, which was eventually renamed McCaffrey & McCall, are included.
Major clients include
Mercedes-Benz of North America, the
New York Zoological Society, and
Save the Children. The agency was also involved in
the political campaign of New York Mayor
John Lindsay. The Radio
Stations Series includes correspondence, periodic reports and
profit-and-loss statements for the 790 Communications Corporation and the 1340
Broadcasting Corporation, radio broadcasting corporations in which McCaffrey
& McCall had invested, and in which McCall remained involved after retiring
from the agency. The Sawyer Miller Group Series
contains administrative records, correspondence and client files. Sawyer Miller
was instrumental in helping the telecommunications industry after the breakup
of the Bell system into regional operating companies. Other clients included
the
National Football League and the
Puerto Rico Telephone Company, along with a number
of political candidates.
The Hunter Fan Company Series consists
primarily of reports pertaining to periodic meetings of the Board of Directors
in addition to some information on marketing strategies and advertising
campaigns. The Shepardson, Stern & Kaminsky
Series contains administrative files and correspondence relating to
internal operations and political advertising, as well as files documenting
McCall's advocacy work on a tobacco-free initiative aimed at children. The
Refugees International Series documents McCall's
involvement in a number of humanitarian efforts undertaken by
Refugees International, including relief for
refugee children and land mine eradication. The series includes correspondence,
travel itineraries and trip journals kept by McCall, as well as printed
materials from Refugees International and other humanitarian organizations. The
Speeches Series includes texts of speeches, talks,
and commencement addresses given by McCall, along with a small collection of
speeches given by others. There is also a set of
"speech files"
that contain clippings, writing
fragments, and other materials used to compose or plan speeches. In a few
cases, speeches are accompanied by supporting materials and relevant
correspondence. The Writings Series includes letters
to the editors of various publications, journal articles, poetry and other
writings by McCall, along with a small collection of writings by others. The
Portfolio Series contains clippings, copies of
advertisements and scrapbook contents relating primarily to McCall's early
career. The Audiovisual Materials Series includes
documentary and promotional films, commercials and radio spot announcements,
especially concerning the
Roe v. Wade court case and demining efforts
supported by
Refugees International. Oversize materials have
been moved to the Oversize Materials Series.
