SCOPE AND CONTENTS NOTE
The papers (1944-97) of Sidney Topol (1924- ), a Massachusetts native and University of Massachusetts alumnus, Class of 1947, document the career of a pioneer in telecommunications who, as CEO of Scientific-Atlanta, helped forge the cable/satellite connection that triggered the growth of cable television in the United States.
Among the 65 linear feet of professional correspondence, speeches, subject files, oral histories, newsclippings, photographs and audiovisual materials, as well as in the engineering notebooks, reports and product brochures for Topol’s Raytheon years and in the reports, plans, and board of directors records for Scientific-Atlanta, lie the record of Sidney Topol’s contributions at key junctures in the development of the telecommunications industry. At Raytheon, he was involved in developing microwave systems and the development and installation of 100 foot earth stations for Intelsat, which became the major gateway for traffic to satellites and allowed, for the first time, live television coverage in the United States from overseas. During his tenure at Scientific- Atlanta, the company grew from $16 million in sales to over $600 million, due to his efforts to strategically position the company as a global force in the satellite and cable TV industries, the marriage of which he fostered.
There is further documentation, in the records of his chairmanship of the Electronic Industries Association’s Advanced Television Committee and in the records of his co-chairmanship of a major conference on competitiveness in 1988 at the Carter Center, as well as in the subject files, of Sidney Topol’s wide recognition as a man of wisdom, experience and vision in the areas of international competitiveness, high definition television, and U.S. export policy. Finally, the papers document Mr. Topol’s active participation in the business, civic, educational, political and cultural arenas of Atlanta, Boston and, on occasion, Washington D.C.
The papers have been arranged in eight series:
