Rhodes Baker Collection

Collection Overview
| Title: |
Rhodes Baker Collection |
|---|---|
| ID: | 06/ 074 |
| Extent: | 2.0 Boxes |
| Arrangement: | The papers are partially organized, but also contain considerable duplicate material; the arrangement is complicated by early attempts -- some 40 years ago -- to make sense of collection and catalog the recordings which came with it, which saw UNT materials and notes shuffled in with Baker's materials. The collection also includes considerable documentation of stages of assessment and organization in the early 1970s, the early 1990s, and 2008-2009. |

| Languages: | English |
