- Existence and Location of Copies
- All of the original sound recordings have been digitized for access. 1/4" open reel tapes with duplicate content are stored at the end of the series. Content has not been verified to see if copies are exact.
- Scope and Contents
- The Sound Recordings series consists of 130 recordings on 1/4" open reel audio tapes and cassette documenting songs and stories in Picuris and other Puebloan languages, most of which were produced between 1965-1989. There are few earlier recordings which may be copies of material in Trager's papes at the University of California, Irvine. There are also a couple of recordings of Miwok vocabulary. Date numbering and titles of recordings were transcribed from box information. Most of the recordings appear to be original though there are a few marked as COPY - presumably copies of original recordings in other collections. Contents have not been verified. The 97 sound recordings described in this series are considered "original" recordings in that there is no other tape or cassette with duplicate content in the collection. The remaining 33 1/4" open reel tapes appear to contain duplicate content but content has not been verified. Most of these are the tape copies of the Tragers' language recordings made for Amy Zaharlick in 1972, but there are a few copies of Zaharlick's own field recordings. Although these duplicate recordings have not been described here, they have been organized by date and are stored at the end of the series.
- Collection Restrictions
