Re: arsclist Victor Archives 1928 Help

[Peter Kiefer <ptk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Victor archives, at least the recording session sheets were in NYC at
RCA Victor offices. Several years ago when I was researching for the Fred
Waring Discography (who recorded for Victor 1923-1934) that was where
they were.  Now that RCA Victor has been bought by BMG I'm not
sure.  My contact there has long retired so I can't help you
there.
Suggest you contact BMG in NY.
