IAJRC was founded years ago in Pittsburgh by William C. Love. The organization incorporated in 1975 in Ohio as a non-profit entity, classified by the IRS as a 501. The incorporators were James H. Beauchamp, Edward L. Shank, and Leo F. Krebs, all of Dayton. The organization has published the IAJRC Journal four times a year for the past years, and has produced over 77 titles for IAJRC Records. Many peers, including TV and radio historian Tim Brooks, regard the IAJRC as a scholarly organization.
