Organized into nearly thirty collections, the Berea Archives contain sounds of hundreds of different musicians, singers, and storytellers. Many distinct and personal narratives create an archive assembledfrom belowas opposed to a singular authoritative source. The result is an intricate patchwork of many individual voices, each with a story to tell. These stories begin with the performers yet are ever expanding to include collectors, archivists, historians, and even listeners hearing these accounts for the first time. This paper considers the challenges associated with accessing, interpreting, and performing these many 10 distinct voices within the Berea Archives, and I use close listening as a primary method in which to engage with them. In 2006, I was among the initial recipients of the Berea Sound Archives Fellowship Program, a program that invites scholars and musicians to spend time in the archives to develop research projects based on them. Since then, I have worked on a number of interpretive and creative sound projects that remix and re-contextualize Berea's archival recordings. In each case, I listen carefully and in solidarity with the voices of those recorded. I also listen with a composer s ear, reflective of my own background and training as a musician. Together, these forms of listening allow for an archival ethnography, including an analysis of the archival materials as well as my personal experiences of assessing them.\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\u003eThe Berea College Appalachian Sound Archives in Kentucky consist of over eighty years of non-commercial recordings from across the Appalachian region.
