Published Recordings from the Archive of Folk Culture
The best known publications from the Archive of Folk
Culture are the albums edited by Alan Lomax, B. A. Botkin, Duncan Emrich,
Frances Densmore, Willard Rhodes, Archie Green, Charles Seeger, and other folklorists,
issued by the Library of Congress beginning in 1941 under the series title
Folk Music of the United States. A second series, Folk Music of America, was
released at the time of the Bicentennial. The Folklife Center and the Recorded
Sound Division of the Library are currently collaborating with Rounder Records
to re-issue many of the Center's recordings in compact disc format. In addition,
commercial recording companies have issued over 100 recordings compiled from
the collections of the Archive. A new series by the Library in collaboration
with Rykodisc, The Endangered Music Project, has produced CDs based
on the international collections of the Archive.
The Library of Congress Gift Shop takes orders online for recordings
