About
The Scott Ross Cultural Collection
Donated by Mr. Scott Ross of CBN,
the Scott Ross Cultural Collection comprises a rich selection
of Christian music, commentary and celebrity interviews with Scott
Ross as host. Some of the earliest items in the collection are approximately
500 audio tapes of Scott Ross' Christian radio program, "The
Scott Ross Show," that began broadcasting in the early 1970s. Celebrity interviews on videotape constitute a significant part of the Scott Ross Cultural Collection. Hosted by Scott, these interviews were aired on the 700 Club under the auspices of CBN and the Family Channel.
One of Scott's most well-known interviews
was with David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam, the infamous New York
City serial killer captured August 15, 1977. David Berkowitz
now proclaims Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
We find here a microcosm of American
culture and opinion. Shows focus on the topics of Los
Angeles crime, homelessness, drugs, people with AIDS, religious
beliefs, and international news stories such as Israeli/Palestinian
conflicts.The collection also includes a significant selection of Christian music on lp, audiocassette and cd dating from the 1970s to the present. A variety of Christian artists and record companies are represented. Of special interest is a selection of recordings by guitarist Phil Keaggy with whom Scott started the New Song record label in the 70s. Scott's wife, Nedra, is featured on a number of items, in particular the album, Courts of the King, the Music of Ted Sandquist.

collection includes some videos of Scott's daily talk show on the
Family Channel, "Scott Ross Straight Talk." A recipient
of five Angel Awards for excellence in television and nominated
for two Ace Awards for his Straight Talk show , Scott has made it
his business to go out into the streets to talk to the people.
In so doing, he has garnered grass roots opinion about issuesof
the day and matters of faith.
