GUEST,M Dixon Finding recordings - Library of Congress (11) RE: Finding recordings - Library of Congress 16 May 21


Yes the Library of Congress collection has to be freed up. I'm currently accessing Edward Ives' field recordings from the Northeast that were mostly done in the 1950s to 1970s. They've never been made available to the public in any meaningful way and now, 60 years after the fact, there isn't as much of an audience for the material. AND because the content is owned by Universities and "collected" and "held" . . . this stuff didn't end up influencing or entering the vocabulary of later generations like it could have. There's a bit of a missed opportunity in all this.
