Two catalogs inventory field-recorded wax cylinders which document the music and language of Indian tribes in northeastern and southeastern United States from 1890-1930. The Northeastern Indian Catalog contains entries for 738 cylinders comprising 16 music and spoken word collections from the Chippewa, Fox, Iroquois, Kickapoo, Menominee, Passamaquoddy, Sauk, Shawnee, and Winnebago. The Southeastern Indian Catalog contains entries for 268 cylinders comprising 6 music and spoken word collections from the Alabama, Catawba, Cherokee, Chitimacha, Choctaw, and Seminole. Each catalog has its own introductory chapter and is divided into alphabetically arranged segments representing individual tribes or culture groups; cylinders in each segment are listed alphabetically by collector or collection. Introductions to each segment summarize basic information of scope, recording locations and dates, institutional affiliations, collectors, and collection characteristics. Bibliographies list published and unpublished materials. Catalog entries refer to individual cylinders and contain cylinder number, Archive of Folk Culture number, number assigned by collector, duration and quality of cylinder, collector's description of contents, performer, recording location and date, and notes containing technical information about sound quality, textual clarification, and genre classification. Maps show sites of field recordings. Photographs of collectors and performers appear throughout. Concordances accompany two large collection segments. (LFL)
