Driven to document his collection, he began to aurally record descriptions of these artifacts from the Pacific Islands on sonobands: thin, narrow, and grooved celluloid acetate belts. Some of the recordings contain conversations that took place between Curator Roland Force and Captain Fuller. Their conversations were held in Fuller's home, where the two men recorded every bit of information about each artifact in the collection. The Field Museum, who acquired the Fuller Collection in 1958, contracted the Cutting Corporation in 2004 to digitize this collection. The engineers had to solve numerous technical problems at each step of the process. Several Walkie-Recordall machines had to be located and studied. The Cutting Corporation’s sound preservation engineers and technical engineers had to reverse-engineer and build a machine for playback of the obsolete recording format. Using their years of experience with multiple grooved media, the Cutting Corporation's engineers had to carefully handle the deteriorating sonobands, preparing them for playback, cleaning dirt and debris built up over the years, and identifying an appropriate stylus and rotation speed to achieve sound from this obsolete technology.
