Lomax, Alan Lomax, Zora Neale Hurston, Herbert Halpert, John Work, Helen Creighton, Sidney Robertson Cowell, and dozens of other early field collectors of folk music and spoken word in the United States and other countries. The card catalog was begun as a project of the WPA around 1940, and has been annotated by some of the collectors and by many researchers. Images of the cards are available in this online resource, which will be further developed to provide access to the digitized sound for as many of these historic recordings as possible.
