Alan Lomax Archive op Youtube

Het verzamelen van Amerikaans muzikaal erfgoed bleef bij Alan Lomax niet beperkt tot audiomateriaal. Hij grossierde ook in bewegend beeld:

The filmwork of Alan Lomax is a resource for students, researchers, filmmakers, and fans of America’s traditional music and folkways. Shot throughout the American South and Southwest over the course of seven years (1978-1985) in preparation for a PBS series, “American Patchwork,” which aired in 1991, these videos consist of performances, interviews, and folkloric scenes culled from 400 hours of footage.”
