Archival Scope and Content
Contains notes, bills, receipts, and a booklet relating to the recordings made in Southwest Africa. The tapes were used by Gilbert Rouget of the Musee de l'Homme to produce a record of music partially subsidized by the Marshalls. Paul Collaer (Cercle International d'Etudes Ethno-Musicologiques) planned to study the tapes but apparently did not. Folkways Records contracted with Robert Gardner to produce tapes and recordings. This material was removed from accession file 58-43D.

Important Note about Historical Language
Collections records may contain language, reflecting past collecting practices and methods of analysis, that is no longer acceptable. The Peabody Museum is committed to addressing the problem of offensive and discriminatory language present in its database. Our museum staff are continually updating these records, adding to and improving content. We welcome your feedback and any questions or concerns you may want to share.
