[Corpora-List] Spoken English Corpus of 19th and 20th Century

[Ji Won LEE]

Hello All,
I am comparing the diachronic change of spoken and written English up to this point and was wondering if such corpus exists.
 
I know a recording is  a pretty recent technology so it won't be comparable to Switchboard corpus but 
even movie/TV scripts of late 19th century or early 20th century would be most helpful.
 
Anybody have access to movie and/or TV scripts or plays written in 1850-1950s 
or 
know of the existence of such corpora?
 
Your help is greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Ji Won LEE
