Scope and Contents: Audio was recorded as part of nearly every film project. Recordings from the 1950's are a mix of synchronous and non-synchronous sound; some of the non-sync sound relates directly to the film, some does not. Subject matter for these recordings includes: music, dance, and games; conversation and ambient domestic sounds; wildlife and ambient natural sounds; interviews; and linguistic studies (primarily in Ju/'hoan). Recordings from 1978-1990 are synchronous and relate directly to the film. Additional audio recordings can be found in the Nicholas England collection and in accession 2009.3. A complete, item-level list of audio holdings is available upon request.
