Scope and Contents

The last two of the five recordings (148089-0003 and 148089-0004) each contain some content from October 8th events. It appears that the original October 8 recordings were mostly recorded over during the October 10th Masters Concerts. The last five minutes of 148089-0003 is the October 8th New England Contra Dancing event, and 148089-0004 contains more New England Contra Dancing followed by Cape Breton Set Dancing (see "Irish Sets and Ceili Dancing" for the continuation of this event).

Access Note Collection is open for research. Audiovisual recordings have been digitally copied; all original media were retained, but may not be played due to format. Multitrack audio recordings (DTRS and ADAT) cannot be reformatted by Burns Library at this time and are not available for playback due to format impermanence. In a few instances for which audio was exclusively recorded in one of these formats, migration was outsourced.Original digital text and image files in this...
