Thread Name: Francis James Child, BALLADS - recordings?
Subject: RE: Francis James Child, BALLADS - recordings?
I hven't begun to examine the Carpenter collection since it went on line as we already had prints from of some of the microfesch of o them
Carpenter originally set out (1927-1955) to gather "the largest collection of ballads ever" according to Ken Goldstein
His work covered Britain and the US - a sizeable goldmine
It looks as if he might well have managed that
They are on line and freely available
