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. Correct playback speed is particularly difficult to ascertain with this format and it has been determined by a variety of factors, but may not be an accurate representation of the original source. Some recordings in this collection may not appear in this interface 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 2018 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.

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.
This item is a set of examples from the collection [United States, North and South Carolina, Georgia, African Americans, 1920s-1930s] collected by Lawrence Gellert. Some content and language may be offensive. The examples have been selected to accompany the monograph, A Sound History: Lawrence Gellert, Black Musical Protest, and White Denial, by Steven Garabedian, published by the University of Massachusetts Press in 2020. The larger collection of Lawrence Gellert recordings are described in the IUCAT record (https://iucat.iu.edu/catalog/2231335 ). Some of these recordings were made using a primitive recording device and the audio quality is very poor. Titles are taken from those provided in Gellert's notes or have been created based on the song content. Gellert did not document the names of performers for their safety, and that is why the performers for most of these recordings are unknown.
