AgricultureListening and viewing access to the collection is unrestricted. While the American Folklife Center is the custodial division for this collection, the original sound recordings are stored in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division (hereafter M/B/RS), Library of Congress. Reference copies of sound recordings are available in analog and digitized forms (WAV and mp3 formats) through the Folklife Reading Room. Consult a reference librarian in the Folklife Reading Room for specific information.
Information about the collection materials (compiled by Clare O'Leary and Katherine Langdon) that was in the Folklife Center's AskSam database was migrated into an Access database by Rachel I. Howard. The Access database contains entries for those sound recordings and manuscripts that were digitized as part of the Save Our Sounds project. This database includes a short log for each recording, information incised on discs, interpolations of notes on disc sleeves, and background information on some of the recordings. John Vallier corrected mistakes that were originally entered into AskSam and updated the Access database with transcription information. This updated database is now available in the Folklife Reading Room.
Restrictions may apply concerning the use, duplication, or publication of items in this collection. Consult a reference librarian in the Folklife Reading Room for specific information. To order audio reproductions, please refer to http://lcweb.loc.gov/rr/mopic/folkrec.html.
A selection of audio recordings from the American Dialect Society Collection is incorporated into the American Memory online presentation, "Voices from the Days of Slavery: Former Slaves Tell Their Stories" at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/vfshtml/vfshome.html.
The American Dialect Society Collection (also referred to as the ADS Collection), includes disc recordings, typed transcriptions, and other documentation related to research for the Linguistic Atlas of New England, was donated to the Library of Congress on December 28, 1984, by the American Dialect Society. The collection originally included a number of duplicate discs, which were subsequently given to the Linguistic Archives at the University of Georgia, Athens. In cases where the original discs were missing from those donated to the Library, duplicated copies of those discs have been retained. In 1989 a tape comprising copies of some of the discs made by Frederic Cassidy, including seventeen recordings missing from the collection, were located among a separate collection of recordings loaned to the Library for duplication by the former president of the American Dialect Society, Raven I. McDavid. This tape has been added to the collection.
After the collection was donated to the Library in 1984, AFC reference librarian Gerald E. Parsons worked with linguists Katherine Langdon and Clare O'Leary to listen to each of the discs, provide a quality review, and prepare a database describing the content of each recording. In addition, the collection was arranged, described, and prepared for preservation duplication by Ross Gersten, Stephanie A. Hall, Francesca McLean, and John Vallier. In 2003-2004, Marcia K. Segal directed digitization work on the sound recordings, and finalized the collection guide. On July 7, 2000, the Save America's Treasures program jointly awarded the American Folklife Center (Library of Congress) and the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage (Smithsonian Institution) a $750,000 grant to save sound recordings and related materials (in other formats) in danger of being lost through physical deterioration. This program funded the Save Our Sounds project. The American Folklife Center selected several of its own collections for inclusion in the Save Our Sounds Project, including the American Dialect Society Collection. The digitization process was not exhaustive, due to the small quantity of materials in the collection. Only the audio disc recordings were digitized, because it was determined that ADS Collection recordings on the 10-inch preservation tape, formerly believed to be unique in the collection, existed in disc form (and thus an earlier generation) in the collection.
American Dialect Society Collection, Archive of Folk Culture, American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.
The recordings in the American Dialect Society Collection consist of 891 audio discs (both originals and duplicates made from originals, which replaced absent originals). 466 duplicate discs were subsequently delivered to the Linguistic Archives at the University of Georgia, Athens; AFC retained the original discs from which these were recordings were made. The 891 discs kept by AFC include aluminum-based acetate discs, plastic discs, and 12 shellac pressings made from the original recordings. In some cases the original disc no longer exists and so the copy is the only source for the recording. In addition there is one tape copy of eighteen discs duplicated in 1972 by Frederic Cassidy at the University of Wisconsin.
Notes found on the disc sleeves were written by various individuals at different times. For example, they were written by interviewers and recordists when the recordings were made, shortly afterwards by researchers for the Linguistic Atlas of New England (LANE) project, and by researchers for the Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE). Some of these notes are marked with initials and dates; others are not. The card indexes, disc inventories, and transcripts were made by students under the direction of Miles Hanley, at the University of Wisconsin, during the 1940s. Because of Hanley's involvement, the collection is sometimes referred to as the "Hanley collection" or "the Hanley discs." Manuscript materials include documents produced during acquisition of the collection for demonstrations and presentation events (when the collection was formally given to the American Folklife Center), as well as material produced during the processing of the collection, and theses and articles related to the collection.
The American Dialect Society recordings were made between 1931 and 1937. In the early 1930s the Society began a long-term project to document the regional variation of American speech: The Linguistic Atlas of the United States and Canada. The first published result of the project, the Linguistic Atlas of New England (LANE), was published in three volumes between 1939 and 1944. Fieldworkers for the LANE project interviewed people in New England, and documented their speech with written phonetic transcriptions. Hans Kurath, director of the project and editor of LANE, suggested that fieldworkers make audio recordings of informants, in addition to the written transcriptions. Miles L. Hanley, associate director for LANE, developed a system for recording sound on aluminum discs, which used several automobile batteries as a power source. With this disc-cutting machine in the back of his car, he traveled through New England, making recordings of many LANE informants. Later, other fieldworkers followed Hanley's practice and used recording equipment to gather information from informants from various regions as well as New England.
Although the recordings the fieldworkers made were originally intended as supporting data for the Linguistic Atlas of New England, they were never used in this way. The recordings were used for teaching linguistics and for linguistic research. In the 1970s they provided material for the Dictionary of American Regional English, the first volume of which was published in 1985.
Persons recorded include informants, fieldworkers, and staff members for the LANE project. Many other individuals volunteered to have their speech documented by the dialectologists. Since the scholars were interested in a comprehensive dialect study of all of North America, they recorded speakers from all regions as opportunities arose. They recorded a few foreign-born speakers as well.
The recordings are predominantly interviews with native New Englanders, most of whom were elderly. As Margaret Waterman (see Appendix C ) has pointed out, these interviews provide a record of the speech, attitudes, and lives of people born in the 1840s and 50s. Other speakers include scholars and those whose dialect or language proved interesting to the collectors. The collectors also recorded their own voices, as they felt their dialects might influence the collection and analysis of the dialects of others. Among the famous persons recorded are actor/author Alistair Cooke, romance philologist Charles H. Grandgent, folklorists John Lomax and Alan Lomax, linguist Edward Sapir, and psychologist B.F. Skinner. Languages other than English on the recordings include French, German, Hebrew, Hidatsa, Passamaquoddy, and Zulu. The Gullah dialect is documented as well. Of particular interest are the fifteen interviews with former slaves, and the fifty-five recordings of storyteller Joshua Alley of Jonesport, Maine. Most of the recordings are spoken-word narratives or interviews, although there are a few recordings of songs. Informants were asked about their ancestry, so a good deal of genealogical information is preserved on the recordings. People also talked about their daily lives and their childhood memories, gave recipes, and described work and play activities. In addition, informants also shared personal-experience stories, legends, and traditional tales.
Five fieldworkers made sound recordings in connection with Linguistic Atlas of New England: Bernard Bloch, Marguerite Chapallaz, Miles L. Hanley, Archibald A. Hill, and Guy S. Lowman Jr. Other collectors contributed recordings, disc copies, and/or assisted LANE collectors in making recordings in their regions: For example, Walter C. Garwick contributed the recordings made at Berea College, John Lomax contributed two discs of black work songs, and Lorenzo Turner assisted in the making of the recordings of Gullah dialect.
Some discs were not marked with the collectors' initials, or the collectors' information on the discs is incomplete. For this reason, other LANE staff members who made recordings or participated in interviews did not receive credit on the discs or disc sleeves. Hans Kurath, in particular, almost certainly participated in many of the recording sessions. Many of the unsigned notes in or on the disc sleeves are thought to be his. Notes on discs and disc sleeves show that "J. D." made recordings with Marguerite Chapallaz. This was Jane E. Daddow, a student of Hans Kurath. Contributing to the confusion as to the identity of the collectors is that the recordist and the interviewer were not always the same person. In addition to the researchers already mentioned, Robert L. Stone served as recordist for many interviews. Notes on the discs and disc jackets attribute some recordings to "Caffee" and "A. R. M.," who were probably recordists. The full names of these individuals are not given in the collection materials. See Appendix D for a detailed list of these and other abbreviations in the collection
The Selected Bibliography (see Appendix E ) includes articles and other publications regarding the genesis and work of the American Dialect Society, including DARE and LANE.
The American Dialect Society was founded in 1889 for the study of the English language in North America, and other languages and their dialects of other languages as they relate to North American English. The Society produces the journal American Speech, and related monographs, holds annual and regional meetings, and sponsors the Dictionary of American Regional English. From 1889-1939, it published the journal Dialect Notes. The Society's web site is located at http://www.americandialect.org. Individual interviewers and recordists are listed in Appendix C.

| The American Dialect Society Collection's recordings consist of 891 aluminum, aluminum-based acetate, plastic, and shellac disc recordings. Also included are one 10-inch preservation reel containing 18 recordings, and one audiocassette of presentation event recordings. In addition, there are 78 10-inch preservation reels. 869 audio discs (most originals, and some copies that stand in for original recordings no longer with the collection) were digitized in 2003 and 2004. See Series IV (Electronic Media) for more details. There are also 22 discs that were not digitized, because they are duplicates of recordings in the collection that were digitized. The copies have been kept with the collection. Correspondence related to these discs is found in the case file. The discs are in the physical custody of M/B/RS. The American Dialect Society centennial commemorative cassette is located in Box 28. | |||||||||||||

Interviewers and recordists were usually identified by initials or other abbreviations on the discs or disc sleeves. Persons writing comments on the disc sleeves also identified themselves with initials. Information about the recording situation written by the recordist was sometimes included in these notes, often in abbreviated form. The following list includes these abbreviations and their meaning when known. In addition, some abbreviations and terminology used in the collection materials and in articles about the collection are listed here.
The following is a partial bibliography of references related to the Linguistic Atlas Project. A more extensive list of materials produced prior to 1939 appears in the Handbook of the Linguistic Geography of New England (Kurath, et al. 1939), including a "Bibliography of Linguistic Geography" (pages 54-61) and a "Bibliography of New England History" (pages 105-121).
