Historical NoteReturn to Top
The University of Washington Ethnomusicology Archives has been collecting and curating unique ethnographic music recordings for over 50 years. Its holdings of more than 15,000 items include field recordings documenting music traditions of all kinds from most areas of the world, concert recordings of visiting musicians, and films and videos of a variety of musical events, as well as several hundred musical instruments. The Archives serves the students and faculty in the UW Ethnomusicology Program, the broader university community, Pacific Northwest tribes, and an international clientele of musicians, students, and teachers.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The source of these tapes is unknown; they have a confused and mysterious history (see notes in documentation file for complete run-down). We assume that the Archives "EC" set was copied from someone's cassette set (original recording or copy?); no name listed anywhere.
See logsheets for contents.
Regarding contents: the list that accompanies tapes does not entirely coincide with what we found on tapes ("EC" set). Though the list indicated that .2 would be a continuation of .1, the material on .2 was not on the notes.
Photo-copy of cassette notes (in documentation file) includes numbers "003" and "132" (apparently to identify each of 2 cassettes)
