Owens Folk Song at Texas A\u0026amp;M University. The collection consists of 199 disks recorded by William Owens from 1937 to 1941 while he was a member of the English faculty at A\u0026amp;M, and pursuing a doctorate in folklore from the University of Iowa. They focused on ethnic communities in East and Central Texas and southwestern Louisiana that were underrepresented by previous folklorists. Owens would go on to a distinguished academic and literary career, teaching at Columbia University from 1945 until his retirement in 1974 and authoring over a dozen books, including “Slave Mutiny: The Revolt of the Schooner Amistad” (J. Day Co., New York, 1953), one of the inspirations for the 1997 Steven Spielberg film. The original recordings were digitized in November 2002 on audio CD-Rs. The original disks never received full archival processing, nor the access CDs quality checked. A project was started in October 2015 to fully process the original disks and preserve the audio content of the access CDs. To date the collection has been fully inventoried and derivative audio files created for additional access/description. The next steps of the project are to incorporate a variety of tools, including audio extraction and digital forensics software, into a born-digital audio archival workflow that will become the standard for processing archival digital audio collections at Texas A\u0026amp;M University.\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"]}}],"summary":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eWhat happens when an archival audio preservation project is overlooked, incomplete, and does not meet current acceptable archival best practices?
