| Collection Descriptive Notes | Over the period from 15 March 1964 through April of 1966 H. Dudley Peck presided over these recordings by former brujo Eleuterio Gomez as he recites witchcraft formulas and supplies narratives on the subject. The venue is Cajolá, a municipio in the Quetzaltenago Department of Guatemala. Page numbers on some of the boxes appear to indicate that Gómez is reading from a published text. |
| Collection Technical Notes | These masters are the seven original field recordings done on three-inch reels (and stored in an 11-inch box). The numbering of the tapes from "11" to "17" is apparently meant to continue the series of ten tapes catalogued here with the ID# 4456. Note that the penciled notations appear to be those of Norman McQuown, who numbered the tapes 1-7 when he assigned the shelf codes. The backs of the boxes are now scanned. WAVE files are now converted to MP3s. |
