Series 1. Dialect recordings by geographic area, 1975-1980
The collection is arranged alphabetically by state, and then by city, county, or region; then alphabetically by non-U.S. countries. The identification codes were assigned by Joseph Mele: the first two letters are state abbrevations; the following two letters are the race/ethnicity of the interviewee (most often black or caucasian) and their gender; and the numbers are the year the interview was conducted, followed by the birth year of the intervieweee in parentheses. Original order and numbering was maintained. Interviews were conducted by Joseph C. Mele, as well as other linguists and recordists, described as agents.
