Unrestricted: collection is open for research.
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.
Typed notes indicate that these tapes were copied from a record published by the Folk Music Research Group of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (in 1965?) as an introduction to a series of records "...aimed at presenting a comprehensive survey of traditional Hungarian folk music... To this end we have selected tunes recorded during the past thirty years..."
