FELLOWS, continued on page 1 from miniature pop-up books about golf to memorabilia from the Newport Folk Festival to a pre-World War II manuscript map of potential landing sites for the Japanese on Bougainville Island – it’s not easy to choose a favorite. “Everywhere you look, there’s fascinat- ing stuff,” Adamson said.

Fellows at the Packard Campus in Culpeper, Va., made a rare find – a lacquer disc labeled only “Audition for Decca Records.” The disc, it turned out, contained a previously unknown recording made in 1946 by bluesmen Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry, a duo that would achieve some prominence in the 1950s and ’60s. “These recordings let us hear how good they already were in the 1940s,” said Matthew Barton, a curator in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division (MBRS). The McGhee and Terry recording was discovered in the Universal Music Group Collection, a group of some 200,000 his- toric master recordings acquired by the Library last year. The recording’s cryptic title intrigued Abby Brack Lewis the fellows and led them to do more research on the disc, a first-generation Wesley Verge, a junior fellow in the Law Library, explains a 1952 trademark dispute lacquer recording that holds up to 15 between the Frito Co. and General Mills, the maker of the breakfast cereal Cheerios. minutes on each side. “I think the most exciting thing is discovery while processing the Library’s chromolithographic publications for the having discovered something that might Yudin Collection, the largest personal general public as well as the tsars and not have been heard by anyone in over Russian library outside of Russia. their imperial ministries. 65 years,” said Katherine Rodda, a fellow Their focus has been on works from Coincidentally, junior fellow Meredith in MBRS. “It was really special listening the cartographic firm of Aleksei Afino- Doubleday has been staying in the home to that session for the first time.” genvich Il’in (A.

NEWS Record Crowd Attends DigitalPreservation 2012

By Bill LeFurgy

The Library of Congress provided a forum for innovative insights at its annual digital-preservation meeting, held July 24-25. DigitalPreservation 2012 drew a record crowd of about 230 from across the country and around the world. The Library’s National Digital Infor- mation Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) organized the meet- ing in an effort to hear from prominent technologists and thought leaders; share ideas about learning and best practices; and improve digital stewardship in the service of advancing knowledge and creativity.
