I'm forwarding the following answer from Sam Brylawski, Head of Sound Recording Division of Library of Congress. Steve Ramm In a message << > "Kevin P.

ARSC members in the Labelography Committee of ARSC have been working to revive the discography by seeking funding from a foundation. We're "cautiously optimistic" (and have been for years!).

Universities normally offer free access to the service. Sam Brylawski >>
