NRR Project: Highlander Center Field
Recording Collection
Curated by Frederick
C. Packard, Jr.
1930s – 1980s
The Highlander Center is an alternative school in Tennessee, founded in 1932. It not only taught traditional subjects, but pursued training in labor rights and civil rights action. This decidedly liberal institution has become a magnet for those interested in these subjects.
The Collection consists of all manner of material: folk songs, interviews with civil rights leaders, labor songs, religious songs, and much more. Here’s a link to the Highlander Research and Education Center.
The National Recording Registry Project tracks one writer’s expedition through all the recordings in the National Recording Registry in chronological order. Next up: Suncook Town Tragedy.
