{"value"=>"<p>The Bureau of Social Science Research (1950-1986) was a nonprofit research agency that conducted research in basic and applied social science. The Bureau's focus was the development of social theory and research methods, as well as their application to social issues including the impact of mass media, urban issues, occupational and military sociology, higher and vocational education, social welfare, and the criminal justice system.</p> <p>Albert E. Gollin (1930-1999), media sociologist and the creator of this collection, served as the research associate of the Bureau of Social Science Research for fourteen years. In 1967, Gollin conducted a sociological study of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom held in Washington, D.C., on August 28, 1963. The aim of the study was to understand the role of the media as it covered, related to, and influenced the march, its organizers, and its participants.</p>"}
