1. Story
2. The Library of Congress acquires the material Lomax gathered after his Archive of American Folk Song years, previously housed at Hunter College in New York — reported as including more than five thousand hours of sound recordings, four hundred thousand feet of film, some two and a half thousand videotapes and a working library — reuniting it with the discs he and his father deposited in the 1930s and 1940s. Sixty years of fieldwork across four continents becomes, at that point, a single consultable archive.
