Series 1: Manuscripts (continued) | |||||||||||||
BOX-FOLDER 1/1 | Documents related to the collection, 1940s, after 2001 | ||||||||||||
Includes documentation from sound recording containers, original and photocopied instructions on how to use a wire recorder, a handwritten note from Odette Rigaud to Shirley Keller, and a handwritten letter from Odette Rigaud to an unidentified person (implicitly identified as Shirley Keller, see afc2019041_dc001_aip_01 for details). | |||||||||||||
Series 2: Vodou-related recordings | |||||||||||||
Information transcribed from audio containers and carriers has been edited for clarity (e.g., some abbreviations have been expanded). Tape recordings seem to be primarily dubs of wire recordings, and as such the audio quality reflects the original recording, as well as any imperfections introduced in the dubbing process. | |||||||||||||
