“... presents over 200 paintings, sculptures, decorative arts and other objects from the exceptional holdings of the Art Institute of Chicago.”--from the cover
Both a male and a female interviewer elicit examples of speech from six (?) consultants from Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. (These are not the complete interviews but excerpts made by Pederson (?) probably at the behest of Raven McDavid.)
Collection Technical Notes:
Tape is a compilation of excerpts from the complete interviews. JJT recalls that a colleague sent McDavid this tape, which he donated it to the LLA c. 1977. (The handwriting on the back of the box is that of Raven McDavid.) Note: This compilation overlaps--but does not duplicate--the tape titled "Excerpt from five Gulf States interviews" (q.v.). The WAVE file is now converted to an MP3.
This DAT was copied from the (two) 7.5 ips, full-track, acetate recordings (done apparently in December 1955); JJT, rec. eng., 7/12/05. Copies were lent to the LLA by Regenstein Library.
