Secondary Collection

One cd binder containing fifty seven compact discs and three dvds. Fifty two compact discs contain interviews in mp3 format digitized from thirty cassette tapes. Each audio cassette tape was digitized onto approximately two compact discs although some cassettes only required one compact disc. Audio recordings on the compact discs have been divided into five-minute tracks for easier access to excerpts. Three dvds contain all the audio cassette material in .wav format. The remaining compact discs contain unprocessed raw digitized slides, photos, and word documents.
