original recordings no longer with the collection) were digitized in 2003 and
2004. See Series IV (Electronic Media) for more details. There are also 22 discs that were not digitized, because they are
duplicates of recordings in the collection that were digitized. The copies have
been kept with the collection. Correspondence related to these discs is found
