Introduction/ Scope and contents

U 020: Southwest LP phonographs collection

.5 linear shelf feet (16 titles/ 18 items, in 1 oversize document case)

This collection consists of vinyl phonograph records pertinent to the Center's collection policy.  It includes recordings of ethnic songs.


Administrative information

Arrangement note: These LPs are arranged in a single series (Southwest LP phonograph records) that is arranged by title.

Acquisition information: The accession numbers of the LP records comprising this artificial (i.e., constituted from various disparate sources) collection include 1973:04001, 1996:02001, 1997:09009, and 2000:08010.

Processing information: Most of these LP records were stored for decades in cabinets in what was known as “Ute Corner” in the old Center of Southwest Studies at the top of Reed Library.  The container list (including a much larger number of LP records that did not pertain to the Southwest) was produced by Fort Lewis College archival student assistant Marion Mester starting Oct. 29, 2001 and finishing in Nov. 2001.  This inventory was produced by Todd Ellison in August of 2004; updated March 11, 2005.
