Library of Congress Listings

Here are the "official" Henry Reed Library of Congress listings. These entries are taken verbatim from the Library of Congress Folk Archive Finding Aid (LCFAFA No. 20, June 1996) for the "West Virginia Collections in the Archive of Folk Culture Acquired through 1990":

Thanks to Alan Jabbour for sending this info. to my father! Also, thanks to Rachel Howard for entering these entries at the LoC :-)

Detailed Listing of Recordings by Date

Lani Herrmann transcribed a detailed listing of the LC tape logs. The note on Lani's transcribed list said that these entries are quoted verbatim except for added numbering, occasional ditto marks expanded, punctuation slightly modified, and titles lowercased. I slightly html'ized the list and put the uppercase back in the titles.

Thanks to Lani for transcribing this list and letting me use it!
