This collection consists of letters, photographs, and documents collected by Wayne Jackson and dating from 1954 to 1973. Jackson was a broadcaster for Southeast North Carolina NBC television affiliate WECT (formerly WMFD).

The bulk of the collection relates to three historical events. First, the collection includes information on the telecast of the first Southeastern North Carolina Junior Basketball Tournament held at Brogden Hall, the gymnasium at New Hanover High School in Wilmington, which highlight the background of and preparation for WECT’s first telecast of a Wilmington College men’s basketball team game. Secondly, the collection documents a celebratory dinner for the Wilmington College baseball team after it won the Junior College Baseball National Championship in 1965. Finally, it documents the first commencement exercises of Wilmington College as a senior college in 1965.

Other articles in the collection include a rate card, television programs log, correspondence, and copies of photographs about WECT television. The photographs in particular provide visual context for the people, activities, and events associated with local television broadcasting.
