Collection Information

Physical description

7 sound tape reels (13 hr.) : analog, 3 3/4 ips, half track, mono ; 5 in.

Provenance

Donated by Edward R. Garrision in 1970. This material was recorded with the assistance of a Phillips Fund grant.

Processing information

Collection digitized and cataloged by Brian Carpenter during the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation funded audio digitization project, 2008-2014.

Related material

Related manuscript material by the collector can be found in the Phillips Fund Collection (Mss.497.3.Am4).

Sound quality note

At the time the audio was migrated to DAT around 1991, the following was noted by the audio archivist: "Overall an extremely problem-plagued collection.... The overiding problem is frequent speed variation of the tapes, due to a fluctuation in voltage supplied to the collector's tape recorder from an electric generator. An attempt has been made during re-recording to RDAT to correct speed variation on the original tapes by use of the pitch control on the playback machine (OTARI MX-5050B11), which has a plus-minue factor of 7% in variable speed control." More specific sound quality issues are noted in the item record for each program.
