Sacred Harp is an a cappella music culture oriented around participatory events where attendees take turns leading songs from The Sacred Harp, an 1844 shape-note tunebook. Sacred Harp’s discography includes commercial quartet recordings, folklorists’ field recordings, and professional choral performances of Sacred Harp repertoire. The largest share of Sacred Harp recordings, however, were recorded informally by singers themselves at singings they attended. These recordings number in the thousands and date from the 1950s–present. Yet most remain in private collections, few have been digitized, and many are unidentified. We describe a collaboration between the Sacred Harp Museum and Emory Center for Digital Scholarship to collect and preserve these recordings, create a database of singing proceedings to aid in identification, develop a program to algorithmically identify songs by comparing the content of these recordings with our database, and share the results through online resources and new reissues. Unifying and preserving this dispersed body of recorded sound makes available a uniquely granular and comprehensive collection for future research and exemplifies widely applicable approaches to community engagement, data design, recording identification, and collection dissemination.\u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Language"]},"value":{"en":["English"]}},{"label":{"en":["Publisher"]},"value":{"en":["Association for Recorded Sound Collections"]}},{"label":{"en":["Rights Statement"]},"value":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eCopyright Association for Recorded Sound Collections\u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Video Editor"]},"value":{"en":["Amanda McCabe"]}}],"summary":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eThis panel addresses a program to collect, digitize, identify, and disseminate historical recordings of Sacred Harp singings in private collections.
