Collection Technical Notes:
Discs are the set produced during the Second World War by the United States Armed Forces Institute; the tape dubs were made c. 1960 in the Old Lab. Note: These dubs of c. 1960 were preferred for digitizing over the discs themselves inasmuch as the DMA's turntable does not produce as clear a signal as the one in the Old Lab. The WAVE files are now converted to MP3s.
Excerpts of the items listed in this record were intended to be incorporated into the interactive computer program for students of Norwegian called MacNorsk. [The project was never completed--JJT 6/24/08.] (The scanning format throughout is NTSC.)
