Thanks, Jeanne Barney, for finding this article about Woody Guthrie in yesterday’s newspaper:
LaChapelle details his discovery of these tracks on two 78 rpm discs residing in obscurity in the Southern California Library for Social Studies and Research in South Central L.A. They’d been donated long ago to the library along with other old records by longtime L.A./Hollywood political activist Harry Hay, who met Guthrie through their mutual friend, actor Will Geer.
Wow! That is interesting. The hope is that people will want to use such archives—especially people writing and studying such a subject/person, etc.
Thanks for this. I am not sure I know what archive this is.
