| Louisiana Division New Orleans Public Library |
| Early Recording Collection
Following a reorganization of the old NOPL Art and Music Division into the new Periodicals, Arts and Recreation Division back in the 1980s, the Louisiana Division took over responsibility for housing a collection of early vinyl recordings, of which many were made by jazz bands and/or soloists. Since the Library no longer maintains the equipment needed to play these disks properly, the collection remains largely a "curiosity" and is used mainly for exhibit purposes. In the interest of sharing this bit of musical ephemera with the rest of the world, including the ever-curious community of jazz enthusiasts around the world, we've decided to post the following inventory of the collection on the Web. So here is our list of early recordings . . . |
