Working with Guyanese archivists, librarians and media professionals, the group inventoried a strategic sample of the over 14,000 individual audio assets that are held in the public sector. In response to the unique demands of working in Guyana, the team developed specialized methodologies and equipment solutions, and confirmed the presence of innumerable historically or culturally significant, one-of-a-kind recordings. This includes authenticating the existence of the legendary Peter Kempadoo Collection, long thought to have been lost. This collection is a world-class treasury of indigenous and colonial dialects, as well as Guyanese music, folklore, oral traditions and important speeches. The bad news is that due to substandard storage conditions, we found that many of the assets were in a distressed state and in need of expeditious stabilization. Before departing, the team prepared an exit report that was presented to the Minister of Culture. This report summarized our findings and made key recommendations regarding ongoing assessment of the remainder of the collections, and the development of a protocol to guide future stabilization, preservation and transformating of the valuable audio holdings of Guyana.
