With its emphasis on field recordings from many cultures, this 18-volume set acts as a counterbalance to Harry Smith’s renowned Anthology of American Folk Music. In 2004, the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress complemented its existing Lomax family materials with the acquisition of the Alan Lomax Collection (AFC 2004/004). Among its 675 linear feet of multi-format materials was the original documentation of the Columbia World Library—manuscripts, photographs, and sound recordings. The source recordings and test pressings represent perhaps the best existing copies of the World Library. Tom Western’s Twentieth Century Music article, “‘The Age of the Golden Ear’: The Columbia World Library and Sounding out Post-war Field Recording,” discusses the implications of recorded sound formats and technologies on the creation of the field recordings in Lomax’s volume, as well as how they were distributed and disseminated to the public. In this presentation, I will provide context around the release and the influence of the World Library, integrating Tom Western’s analysis on the impact of sound formats and technology. I will illustrate some of the fascinating content in the collection by playing samples from the volume and by displaying interesting associated manuscripts. Next I will bring an archival perspective to preserving and providing access to the source recordings of the anthology, using this case to illustrate Library of Congress audio preservation workflows.\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":["Nathan Georgitis"]}}],"summary":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eBetween 1955 and 1964, Alan Lomax produced a seminal recorded anthology titled Columbia World Library of Folk and Primitive Music.
