The Archives' holdings document the history of ethnographic sound recording, from wax cylinders made during museum expeditions in the 1890s to recent commercial releases on compact disc. We strive to provide as much access as we can to our various materials, and we look forward to learning how we can assist you with using our rich collections.

Also, please note that if you need access to Indigenous or culturally sensitive materials, and/or download access for commercial or exhibit requests, please fill out those forms instead:
