Series II: Sound Recordings
|
|
The American Dialect Society Collection's recordings consist of
891 aluminum, aluminum-based acetate, plastic, and shellac disc recordings.
Also included are one 10-inch preservation reel containing 18 recordings, and
one audiocassette of presentation event recordings. In addition, there are 78
10-inch preservation reels.
869 audio discs (most originals, and some copies that stand in for
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
in the case file. The discs are in the physical custody of M/B/RS.
The American Dialect Society centennial commemorative cassette is
located in Box 28. |
