Thread Name: Help! Canadian field recordings??
Subject: RE: Help! Canadian field recordings??
York University in Toronto has an extensive folk music library, based on Edith's work, and others. The University of Toronto music library has many, many albums, books, etc.

The Smithsonian Folkways albums are easily available (check out their website) -- Alan Mills did a number of Canadian folk albums in the 50's, as did a number of French Canadian, and Newfoundland singers and field recorders. The notes to the albums are particularly useful. Anyone who wants any of the sheet music from the various books that were put out from Marius Barbeau or Edith Fowke or Helen Creighton has but to ask -- I am in these libraries all the time.

yours,
