This article from the Cool Ticks and Trinkets newsletter might be of
interest to some listmates.

Musical anthropologist Alan Lomax spent a lifetime documenting folk
traditions and music from countries all over the world. The Alan Lomax
Collection, which was acquired by The Library of Congress last year,
catalogues all of his audio and video recordings, photographs,
interviews, folk tales and oral histories. 
The online database contains field recordings, radio shows, and
interviews from his now legendary trips around the United States, the
Caribbean, the U.K., Europe and Russia. Fans must register at the site
in order to listen to and download the growing number of audio and
photographic files, which were recorded by Mr. Lomax and his father
between the 1930's and the 1990's.
