The information presented here about each recording in this collection comes from minimal original documentation by the collector and from additional research by ATM staff. Use of the recordings in this collection requires permission from the American Museum of Natural History with a description of intended use. Patrons should contact atmusic@indiana.edu for assistance in getting further access to these recordings. These are acoustic recordings made on a cylinder phonograph and they are characterized by the relatively low fidelity and high surface noise typical of this format and recordings of this age. Some recordings in this collection may not appear in the MCO application due to damage that makes them currently unplayable. For more information on damaged recordings, contact the Archives of Traditional Music. The recordings available here are derivatives from stylus-based transfers made in 2017 on the Endpoint Solutions playback machine. Minimal noise reduction and de-clicking have been applied to these derivatives to offer modest improvement to the listening experience without compromising the integrity of the source audio. Some of these recordings are matched pairs made simultaneously by Berthold Laufer in an effort to capture a clear recording of the voice on one cylinder while capturing a clear recording of the instruments on another cylinder.
